Nonlinear and Experimental modelling of Prestressed SCC Bridge girders

To achieve acceptance for use self consolidating concrete, SCC in prestressed concrete bridge girders, this study was conducted on T-beams fully prestressed SCC of 9m length. The girders were designed based on the Iranian bridge code of practice. Different types of electrical gauges were attached on the steel, prestressed strands and concrete surface at different sections. In the numerical study, 3-D ANSYS modelling was performed. The load-deflection and load strain diagrams for transfer and service conditions of two methods were plotted for different sections. The comparison of experimental and numerical results is performed and a very good agreement is available.
