Abstract
Since the generation of prestressed concrete, the causes for losses of prestress have been always analyzed and studied and many achievements are made. However, as the losses of prestress result from many factors, it is very complicated to calculate various losses of prestress accurately. The formulas and methods used in the concrete codes of various countries for calculation of prestress losses vary according to their different purposes. This paper focuses on US code ACI 318-05, Eurocode EN 1992-1-1 and Chinese code GB 50010-2010 (the code for design of concrete structures), and carries out a comparative analysis in terms of losses of prestress for the three codes above.
