Crack Analysis on Reinforced Concrete Beams Strengthened by Externally Prestressing Vertical Tensioning Method

摘要

In this paper, seven reinforced concrete beams (two contrast beams and five externally reinforced beams) were tested. The crack regularity under different tension stresses was analyzed through experimental data. Taking the stress mode under pressure for the triangle area, in the tension zone in the shape of a trapezoid, the crack resistance equation of externally prestressing reinforced rectangle beam is derived from balance method of the internal forces and moment, and the results coincide with the experiment results well.
