Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) Finite Element analyses were performed to investigate transverse stresses and bursting forces at the anchorage zone in post-tensioned concrete beams. The behavior of the concrete beam was investigated through linear elastic Finite Element analyses. To validate the Numerical modeling results, an experimental study was performed on a beam and results are compared in terms of ultimate strength. The effect of duct hole and eccentricity are investigated by varying diameter and eccentric distances on the concrete beam. Furthermore, the results are validated for bursting stress and bursting force. Altogether, the equation of bursting force in IS 1343:2012 hasn’t considered the effect of duct hole and eccentricity, the results are compared with IS 1343:2012, and an equation is presented considering the effect of duct and eccentricity.
