THE CALCULATION OF PRESTRESSED CONCRETE RIGID FRAME IN CONSIDERATION OF SECONDARY EFFECT OF PRESTRESSING WIRES

Abstract

In this paper, the calculation of prestressed concrete rigid frame, in which secondary effect of prestressing wires due to deformations of members is taken into consideration, is shown. Further, the author compares these calculated values with the measured values on Misogi-bashi (Misogi-bridge), the first prestressed concrete bridge of rigid frame type in Japan, and point out this method is rational.
