Service analysis of prestressed concrete structures. Theoretical model and experimental results

Abstract

A mopdel for the analysis of evolutive prestressed non-cracked structures under service loads is described. Experimental and theoretical results are compared. Special emphasis is placed on the deficulties found in the application of the model due to the cuality and amount of data required. Finally, from this analysis is concluded that such a model is a valuable computational instrument which provides adequate results when the proper data is supplied.
