This paper evaluates the flexural performance and quantifies the secondary moments in two-
span prestressed steel-concrete composite beams. A nonlinear model capable of simulating …

A loading capacity analysis is conducted for prestressed continuous steel-concrete
composite beams. On the basis of the basic theoretical framework of the solution of …

External prestressing is one of the most powerful techniques to retrofit and strengthen the
existing beams and columns. In this paper, the flexural behavior of deep beam prestressed …

To alleviate cracks in the hogging region of continuous steel-concrete composite girders, the
hybrid fiber reinforced concrete (HFRC) and prestressing technique were introduced to …

Cracking of the reinforced concrete (RC) slab is a critical problem for a composite beam
subjected to a hogging moment, which hinders its application to indeterminate composite …

This paper presents an experimental study on the mechanical behavior, particularly the
tensile stiffness, of square concrete-filled steel tubes (SCFTs) under axial tension, from both …

The use of external FRP tendons instead of steel ones for prestressing steel-concrete
composite girders is evaluated. A nonlinear model for prestressed steel-concrete composite …

To investigate the stiffness of steel–concrete composite beams subjected to hogging
bending moments and their enhancement through prestressing using external tendons …

External pre-stressing is often used in strengthening or retrofitting of steel-concrete
composite beams. In this way, a proper numerical model should be able to trace the …

To investigate the flexural behavior of continuous externally prestressed steel–concrete
composite (EPSCC) beams, flexural tests were conducted on two two-span continuous …
