CHAPTER
ULTIMATE LIMIT STATE
08 DESIGN OF PRESTRESSED
CONCRETE STRUCTURE
8.1 INTRODUCTION
At the ultimate level the prestressed concrete structure is behaves similar like reinforced concrete
structure. After the serviceability requirement is satisfied (below the allowable stress) then ultimate
bending strength of the prestressed concrete member must be checked. The ultimate level of the
prestressed concrete structure is started from the cracking moment until the service load bending
moment. The basic concept of flexural theory of reinforced concrete design can be applied for the
prestressed concrete member. The ductility of the member is an important consideration because
ductile member can undergo large deformation. This large deformation gives early warning of the
failure.
This chapter describes the analysis and design procedure of prestressed concrete flexure member
at ultimate limit state. The calculation of bending strength for bonded member and non-bonded
member is described. The analysis procedure using strain compatibility and simplified method
recommended by code also described.
There are three types of failure of the prestressed concrete flexure member, as follows :
Sudden Failure, started by cracking of the concrete and follows by fracture of steel
reinforcement. This member has very small amount of non-prestressing steel reinforcement.

Ductile Failure (Under Reinforced), started by yielding of steel reinforcement and follows by
the crushing of the concrete compressive zone. This member has small amount of non-
prestressing steel reinforcement. To increase ductility the compression reinforcement can
be used.
Brittle Failure (Over Reinforced), started by crushing of the concrete compressive zone and
follows by yielding of steel reinforcement. This member has large amount of non-prestressing
steel reinforcement
The followings are the basic concept of this two type of prestressing, as follows :
Fully Prestressing, the prestressed concrete member is designed so there is no tensile stress
occurs at the extreme fiber at initial load stage or service load stage.
Partially Prestressing, the prestressed concrete member is designed so the tensile stress is
permitted occurs at the extreme fiber at initial load stage or service load stage. If the tensile
stress is permitted the concrete will crack and the non-prestressing steel must be provided.
Fully prestressing system is not economic because the concrete section is usually large.
Partially prestressing system is more economic because the concrete section is smaller than fully
prestressing system.

The crack control is by control the cracking moment. For partially prestressing where the crack is
permitted the ultimate bending strength must be 20% greater than the cracking moment.
The minimum bending strength of partially prestressing beam for crack control purpose is :
where :
Mn = nominal bending strength
Mcr = cracking moment
φ = strength reduction factor (bending)
Pe ⎛ ec b ⎞ MT
fb = − ⎜⎜1 + 2 ⎟⎟ + [8.2]

The crack will occur if the bottom concrete stress fb is more than modulus of rupture of the
concrete fr. In this stage the bending moment is called cracking moment Mcr.

where :
Mcr = cracking moment
fr = modulus of rupture of the concrete
Sb = bottom section modulus
Pe = effective prestressing force
e = prestressing eccentricity
r = radius of gyration
cb = distance of bottom fiber from the neutral axis
If the amount of non-prestressing reinforcement is too large the beam behaves as over-
reinforced beam. The tensile reinforcement will not yield so the ductility is small. To avoid this
condition the code provides maximum reinforcement.

at failure.

strain and ultimate stress of prestressing steel is different with the ultimate strain and stress calculation
of reinforced concrete member.
The major different of ultimate strain of prestressing steel with non-prestressing steel is as follows :
Strain of Non-Prestressing Steel, the ultimate strain of non-prestressing steel is occurs after the
application of the external load. No initial strain because there is no initial tension load
applied to the non-prestressing steel.
Strain of Prestressing Steel, the ultimate strain of prestressing steel is combination of initial
strain, decompression strain and strain due to overload condition. The initial strain and
decompression strain is occurs at prestressing steel because initial tension is applied at the
prestressed concrete member.

ε1 = [8.18]
Eps
where :
ε1 = strain of prestressing steel due to effective prestressing force
fpe = effective prestressing steel stress
Eps = modulus of elasticity of prestressing steel
C. Decompression Stage
Decompression is a condition that is the concrete stress at the level of cgs is zero. This condition
happens because there is enough bending moment of applied load to decompress the concrete
at cgs level. During the achievement of decompression stage there is transition of concrete strain from
decompression strain to zero. Because of there is prefect bond between prestressing steel and
surrounding concrete so the strain of prestressing steel is the same as strain at concrete. The
decreasing of concrete stress is the same value of increasing of prestressing steel strain.
The following figure shows the concept of the decompression strain.

This compressive concrete stress will decompress until zero stress due to application of
external bending moment. With the assumption of perfect bond the change of stress in
concrete is the same of change of stress in prestressing steel (concrete stress decrease,
prestressing steel stress is increase).
The strain due to this decompression stress is called decompression strain. The decompression
strain is calculated only due to effective prestressing force (due to external bending moment
will be accounted separately).

The linear strain distribution is achieved with the condition concrete strain at extreme fiber at failure
is assumed 0.003.

where :
ε3 = prestressing steel strain beyond decompression
dp = effective depth to cgs
c = distance of compression fiber from neutral axis
E. Ultimate Strain
The ultimate strain of prestressing steel at failure is :
εps = ε1 + ε2 + ε3 [8.21]
where :
εps = ultimate strain of prestressing steel
ε1 = strain of prestressing steel due to effective prestressing force
ε2 = decompression strain of prestressing steel
ε3 = prestressing steel strain beyond decompression
Based on the total ultimate strain of prestressing steel ε3 we can plot the strain value to the curve
and the corresponding stress fps can be obtained.

The different of ultimate analysis of prestressed concrete member with reinforced concrete member is
the prestressing steel had already stressed with initial prestressing force. This initial stress must
be considered when calculate the ultimate stress of prestressing steel.
The other different is the decompression stage of prestressed concrete beam. There is increment of
tensile stress at prestressing steel due to service load.
The ultimate analysis of bonded tendon is based on the strain compatibility method. The strain of each
layer of prestressing steel is calculated and the stress is calculated based on that strain.
The followings are the behavior of non-bonded tendon at ultimate limit state, as follows :
8 - 15
http://syaifulsipil96.blogspot.com/ syaiful_ashari@yahoo.com
When the external load is applied slip result between tendon and concrete. Due to this slip the
tendon is deform uniformly along the entire length.
The increase of tensile stress is uniformly along the length not concentrated in the crack area.
So the number of crack is lesser than in bonded tendon.
