Influência da protensão na resistência ao cisalhamento de vigas de concreto protendido

Abstract

With the increase of the construction industry, the prestressed concrete has advanced beyond of the stages of evolution, being consolidated as a structural material, evolving and bringing reliable technical and technologies for many different structures, ranging from conventional buildings, with applications in bridges and stadiums, and on to more complex structures such as offshore platforms. The study of shear in reinforced concrete beams and prestressed concrete beams always had many controversies because of the many variables that involve the study of shear. In the case of prestressed beams, which are adopted profiles with different inclinations together with shear reinforcement, there is need for improved theoretical methods and practical, this research may contribute materially to the understanding of these variables. Thus, to determine the influence of the inclination of prestressing strands in the shear strength of prestressed concrete beams, oriented the focus this research to study of six prestressed concrete beams with alternating tracing cable straight and parabolic and transverse reinforcement, in order to observe the structural behavior of these beams, mainly observations about the influence of the stress generated by varying the inclination of the cables and varying the rate of transverse mode rupture, the load capacity, the surfaces of rupture and other factors in order to understand the shear in prestressed concrete beams.
