About this document
Retrofitting Steel Beams with EPT Technique by JefreyMatuanMondrano is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document summarizes a study on retrofitting steel beams using exterior post-tensioning. Steel beams can deflect and deform permanently under excessive loads over time. The study develops a retrofitting technique called Exterior Post-Tensioning (EPT) that uses high-strength steel tendons attached to the beam to add tension and regain strength. Experimental tests were conducted on steel beam specimens loaded beyond yield points, then retrofitted with EPT. Results showed EPT was able to compensate for weak
