Introduction to Prestressed Concrete（介绍预应力混凝土）.pdfVIP

SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION TO POST-TENSIONED CONCRETE DEVELOPED BY THE PTI EDC-130 EDUCATION COMMITTEE NOTE: MOMENT DIAGRAM CONVENTION • In PT design, it is preferable to draw moment diagrams to the tensile face of the concrete section. The tensile face indicates what portion of the beam requires reinforcing for strength. • When moment is drawn on the tension side, the diagram matches the general drape of the tendons. The tendons change their vertical location in the beam to follow the tensile moment diagram. Strands are at the top of the beam over the support and near the bottom at mid span. • For convenience, the following slides contain moment diagrams drawn on both the tensile and compressive face, denoted by (T) and (C), in the lower left hand corner. Please delete the slides to suit the presenters convention.
