Direct Design of Nonprismatic Prestressed Beams: I
Publication: Journal of Structural Engineering
Volume 113, Issue 6
Abstract
The methods used for designing prestressed sections are discussed and classified. It is shown how the number of variables makes hand design inefficient, especially for nonprismatic members. A computer program is described that can assist a designer in producing efficient nonprismatic designs rapidly and easily.
