Structural Analysis and Design of Prestressed Concrete Subway
Abstract: Subway is an underground tube which is used to carry underground roadway and railway systems within urban and suburban areas. To reduce the traffic volume above the ground underground Subway is used to connects many busy places through a common route. Many Metropolitan Cities in India are on the verge of getting saturated due to Urbanization therefore the Planning and Construction of such underground Subway is very much important in …

Review on Optimization of Prestressed Concrete Girder
Abstract: Recent surveys have indicated that between 40% of all bridges in all over India are in various states of deterioration. Funding is limited owing to the existence of other deficient components of the transportation infrastructure. It is clear, therefore, that the return on the available funding needs to be maximized. This paper presents a review of publications on cost optimization of prestressed concrete girder and systems and then continues with …

Structural Design of Prestressed Concrete Box Girder
Abstract: Bridge Structure is used to carry over the roadway within urban and suburban areas. A bridge structure is basically a facility that connects many busy places through a common route to reducing the traffic volume. Planning and Construction of such structure are very much important in modern times as we notice that majority of the Metropolitan Cities in India are on the verge of getting saturated due to Urbanization. The …

Seismic Analysis of Prestressed Concrete Bridge Subjected To Ground Motion Using Time History Method
Abstract: The use of continuous concrete box girder bridges has increased recently. In construction of this type bridges having constant or variable section height, the cantilever method can be applied. Box girder section forms consist of single or more box girder based on bridge wide. The cantilever method is considered as the natural and logical solution in construction of box girder bridges. There are two basic alternatives in the cantilever method: …

Experimental Study on Compressive Strength of Ferrocement
Abstract: AbstractFerrocement construction technology is quite popular throughout the world. Ferrocement as thin material can be used as building components as well as a repair material. Ferrocement composite consists of cement-sand mortar with wire mesh to produce elements of small thickness having high durability, resilience and when properly shaped, it has high strength and rigidity. Ferrocement differs from conventional reinforced concrete or prestressed concrete primarily on the basis of nature, placing …

Comparative Study of PSC Spun Pole using Higher Grade Concrete without and with Discontinuous Glass Fiber
Abstract: This experimental study was carried out on the prestressed concrete spun pole of length 13 m with and without use of anti-crack discontinuous glass fiber in high-strength concrete. The pole is having outer diameter at top and bottom as 206 mm and 379 mm respectively. The pole is having thickness 50~55 mm. The investigations were done to study the effect of use of high dispersion discontinuous glass fiber on deflection …

Analysis of an Extradosed Bridge with Single Plane Cable System
Abstract: The extradosed bridge is a bridge that combines elements of a cable-stayed bridge and a prestressed concrete box-girder bridge. This innovative design offers several advantages, including improved aesthetics, reduced construction costs, and enhanced durability. The extradosed cable system provides additional support to the bridge deck while maintaining a lower overall height compared to traditional cable-stayed bridges. This feature makes extradosed bridges particularly suitable for environments where height restrictions are a …

Formulation of Load Chart Table for Precast Prestressed Double Tee Slab
Abstract: The increasing demand for office buildings, shopping malls, industrial facilities, and residential structures underscores the necessity for rapid construction systems. Among these, precast concrete structures have gained traction in the construction industry, with beam-to-column/wall connections playing a crucial role. Precast prestressed T-slabs, primarily used as floor slab elements, offer advantages such as longer spans (up to 12 m to 15 m) and simplified construction processes due to their one-way slab …

Experimental Investigations of Prestressed Hollow Core Slabs and Grouted Hollow Core Slabs
Abstract: With the advent and rapid inclusion of prefabricated concrete system to the construction industry, it poses interesting research challenges to the academic world. The acceptance of hollow-core slab as an alternative to the normal reinforced concrete solid slabs is getting delayed due to the delusion among public. The usage of grouted hollow core slabs by filling the core with grout is one of the increasing demands observed by the hollow …

Cost Comparison of Post Tensioning, Prestressing and Conventional RCC Design
Abstract: The aim of project is to check the cost effectiveness of Post-Tensioning Slab with other design methods. For that purpose multipurpose hall is chosen with the footprint of 6 x 8 m having the total slab area is (768 sq. m). The analysis done by hand calculation and using the following methods: 1) Flat Plate (Without Drop and capital ) and Post-Tensioning Slab by using equivalent frame methods 2) Flat …
