Experimental Study on Flexural Behavior of RC Beams Strengthened by External Prestressing
Abstract
The efficient external prestressing reinforcement technology has the characteristics of simple construction, clear force transmission and convenient changing of cables, and has become a hot spot in the research of concrete structure reinforcement. In this paper, the external prestressed steel members are taken as the research object, and the two test beams are subjected to two-point loading test. The load-deflection curve is drawn. The ultimate bearing capacity, crack morphology and deflection of bending reinforced RC beams adopted external prestressing technology were compared and evaluated based on the experimental and theory analyzation. The experimental results show that the efficient external prestressing reinforcement technology can significantly improve the performance of concrete members and can be applied to structural reinforcement.
