Modelling and parametic study of externally presstressed beams at ultimate limit state

In recent years, the use of external prestressing technique has been growing rapidly in upgrading and strengthening existing structures, especially bridge girders. However, the structural behaviour of beams prestressed with external tendons is still not fully understood and insufficient studies wer...
