Abstract
The concept of prestressing steel structures has only recently been widely considered, despite a long and successful history of prestressing concrete members. Several analytical studies of prestressed steel plate girder were reported in the literature, but much of that work was not studied with reference to different parameters like tendon profile, eccentricity, partial span to full span ratio, prestressing force, load carrying capacity etc. associated with prestressing. This paper examines analytically a comparative study of various tendon configurations and prestressing parameters on over all analysis and design of prestressed steel plate girder. The output from the computer Program for analysis and design of steel plate girder prestressed with different tendon configurations are compared among each other. As a Case-study, a prototype model of Prestressed Steel Testing Frame with straight tendon has been designed, constructed and tested in the laboratory for its safe load carrying capacity and maximum deflection.
