Mechanical behaviour research of long span
prestressed steelconcrete composite beam
L.-Z. Jiang1, Z. Huang*1, W.-B. Zhou1 and X.-X. Sun2
The deformation and stress distribution of concrete and section steel in the whole process of short
span prestessed steelconcrete composite beam were analysed by finite element software
(ANSYS) in this paper. The results fit well with the experimental value that the model can
preferably reflect the real stress condition of the beam that was analysed with different
reinforcement ratios, different span/depth ratios and different prestress degrees. In addition, the
momentdeflection curves of long span prestressed steelconcrete composite beam were
discussed with different reinforcement ratios. Moreover, a reasonable range for the beam is
advised by considering its deformation law. Finally, some beneficial advices and conclusions
were provided for the designer and referenced for further study.
