The flexural behavior of precast concrete segmental box girder is significantly depends on the length of segments. This study aims to investigate the effect of segment length at different compressive strengths of concrete on box girder bridges. In this study, six beams divided into two groups with internal tendons having a constant span of 2400 mm...

Background The use of post-tensioning in girders causes high bearing and compressive stresses in the anchorage zone. In this study, the behavior of the anchorage zone and the interaction between the local and general zone are investigated. The variables included different reinforcements for both the local and general zones for a block of two anchor...

In recent years, strengthening through using fibre reinforcing polymer (FRP), has been widely used in buildings, especially slab-column connections. This is due to several reasons; such as the application of additional loads, incorrect analysis and design and others. There are many standards to deal with the FRP application. Each standard has its o...

Post-tensioning tendons in segmental box girder bridges are usually anchored in very massive diaphragms. This paper presents an analytical investigation of the anchorage zone stresses for an interior pier diaphragm and a rectangular block model (model of diaphragm anchorage zone). The failure load and load-displacement relation for the two cases we...

The anchorage zone of post-tensioned members can be divided into local and general zone. Many researchers investigated the effect of various parameters of anchorage zone and the accuracy as well as the improvement in the analysis and the design methods. In this article, the survey of literatures is established in order to study the post-tensioning...

The ultimate strength of reinforced concrete T-beams reinforced with conventional steel bars and short discontinuous steel fibers are studied. It is found that the presence of steel fibers reduced effectively the deflection, width of cracks and also improved the ductility and flexural rigidity of the concrete beams. Hence, an appreciable increase t...
