Strength and Behavior of Prestressed Concrete Members With Unbonded Tendons by Ned H. Burns and David M. Pierce SYNOPSIS Experimental test results are presented for 15 prestressed concrete mem- bers with unbonded tendons, utilizing two shapes of cross sections. Ribbed cross sectional shape was used for beams tested as indeterminate two-span continuous members and as determinate double cantilever members simu- lating the negative moment region of multiple span members. An I-shaped section was used for eight simply supported beams, four of which were sim- ple beams with an overhang on one end. Web reinforcement was used for only four of the 15 beams tested. Bonded reinforcement was included in all cases to distribute cracking in the concrete and to contribute to the ultimate moment capacity at critical sections. Development of cracking, ultimate load capacity, and the load- deflection response were of interest. Some members failed in flexure, while others failed in shear. The test results are compared with values computed following the 1963 ACI Building Code requirements. Both flexural and shear strengths at ulti- mate are underestimated by the ACI Code. The trends from comparisons of measured to predicted values are discussed in the paper for beams having the two types of cross sections, and overall trends are presented. The con- tribution of the bonded deformed bars to strength and behavior of members with unbonded tendons is discussed. INTRODUCTION gation at The University of Texas The topic of this experimental were post-tensioned with the study is but one example of a situa- stressed tendons being left un- tion where the art of prestressed bonded. In addition to the un- concrete has somewhat preceded the bonded prestressing tendons, all basic science. All 15 prestressed beams
