Analysis of prestressed concrete shells subjected to long-term load
Abstract
A numerical model for the material and geometric non-linear analysis of prestressed concrete slabs and shells subjected to short-term and long-term static load, applied without release of load, is presented. Most significant non-linear effects exhibited by concrete, concrete steel, and prestressed steel, are simulated. The described numerical model is verified through results obtained by experimental testing of a prestressed concrete shell subjected to short-term and long-term load.
