Experimental study on horizontal shear crack control of prestressed corrugated composite beams

摘要

In case the structure is exposed to the high temperature, the lateral shear crack is the major cause exposing the steel bar to the high temperature and also the major cause of the collapse of buildings. In the study, in order to control the lateral shear crack, the presterssing using strands in a reverse direction of the lateral shear crack has applied and the fire resistance test of the PS corrugated web composite beam has been carried out, produced in a corrugated type of the steel to increase the efficiency of the prestressing. As a result of the test, the lateral shear crack introducing the PS has been reduced but it has been concluded that in case the strands are failed, the brittle failure can be taking place.
