Abstract
The goal of this paper is to get a better knowledge of effect of joint positions on flexural behavior of box segmental specimens under bending stresses. Three segmental specimens with internal tendons were produced and tested. Each segmental specimen was produced assembling three precast concrete segments and they were connected by using four post tensioning tendons. All segmental specimens were formed with dry joint type, but they different in joint positions. All specimens were tested under two types of loadings cyclic and static two point loads. The test of cyclic loading was carried out by exposure each specimen to three loading cycles. The static load test was carried out in same rate of loading that of cyclic load test and all girder specimens were tested up to failure. The loads versus deflections at specified points were recorded. Also, cracking, mode of failure and ultimate loads values were recorded as well as the concrete surface strains at the specified locations for both loadings.
