About this document
Allowable Compressive Stresses in Concrete by Michael Abeleda is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document summarizes a research article that investigated allowable compressive stresses in pretensioned concrete members when prestressing forces are transferred. The researchers proposed a new estimation equation for allowable compressive stress at transfer that considers the eccentricity ratio of tendons, section size and shape, prestress level, and self-weight moment. They compared allowable stresses specified in design codes to test results and found code provisions provided unconservative or conse
