Camber and Deflections
Abstract The primary purpose of prestressing concrete is to increase the load at which the concrete cracks. The consequence is that, depending on the choices made by the engineer, the section remains uncracked over a much larger proportion of the total load than does nonprestressed concrete, which is not typically controlled by deflections. Estimating deflections in prestressed concrete, however, is particularly important because of the slender members and longer spans that are possible. Deflections must be controlled so that serviceability is maintained when service loads are in place. This chapter covers the procedures for estimating of deflections in both class U and T members.
