Semi-integral design is used for prestressed concrete girder bridges under 450 feet long and for post-tensioned spliced concrete girder and cast-in-place post-tensioned concrete box girder bridges under 400 feet long. Use L-type abutments

Post-Tensioned Concrete in Residential Construction
www.buildersshow.comthe steel is being tensioned and the concrete or masonry is being compressed. Compression is a force that squeezes or crushes and tension is a force that pulls something apart. As building materials, concrete and masonry are very strong in compression, but they are relatively weak in tension. Steel, on the other hand, is very strong in tension.
(Reapproved 2006) REINFORCEMENT FOR CONCRETE— …
www.concrete.orgtendons are tensioned before concrete is hardened. rebar—an abbreviated term for reinforcing bar. reinforced concrete—structural concrete with at least a code-prescribed minimum amount of prestressed or nonpre-stressed reinforcement. Fiber-reinforced concrete is not considered reinforced concrete according to this definition.

Once the geometry, loading, support conditions, and material properties of a conventionally reinforced member (Fig. 1(a)) are established, a unique solution of the required area of reinforcement, A s, is given by a formula. For a post-

Reduction or elimination of random cracks. 3. Substantial reduction in joints, i.e. increased spacing of joints. Post-tensioning is an active rather than passive form of reinforcing. In other words, post-
WisDOT Bridge Manual Chapter 19 – Prestressed Concrete
wisconsindot.govWhenthe concrete has attained a sufficient strength, the steel is released and its stress is transferred to the concrete via bond. 19.1.2 Post-Tensioning In post-tensioning, the concrete member is first cast with one or more post -tensioning ducts or tubes for future insertion of tendons. Once the concrete is sufficiently strong, the tendons are
