Allowable Compressive Stress at Prestress Transfer
In 2004, The Texas Department of Transportation initiated Project 5197 to investigate the feasibility of increasing the allowable compressive stress limit at prestress transfer. Initially, the live load performance of 36 specimens was evaluated by Birrcher and Bayrak (TxDOT Report 5197-1, 2007). Report 5197-4 presents the subsequent research conducted based on recommendations of Birrcher and Bayrak (2007). In this portion of TxDOT Project 5197, 45 Type-C beams and 10 4B28 box beams were tested to experimentally determine their cracking load. The Type-C beams were produced in four different fabrication plants using conventionally consolidated concrete. The 10 4B28 box beams were produced in two fabrication plants using concrete mixture designs of both self consolidating concrete as well as conventional concrete. For all specimens, measured cracking loads were compared to predicted cracking loads. The data from the 45 Type-C beams and 10 box beams were added to the 36 beams investigated by Birrcher and Bayrak (2007) to compile a comprehensive set of data from 91 specimens. An appropriate maximum compressive stress limit was determined from the ability to accurately predict the load at which cracking occurred.
