Abstract

Based on experimental research and calculation theory of flexural bearing capacity, a method for calculating the ultimate load bearing of normal section member strengthened with prestressed CFL is proposed. Static load experimental results of two beams show that when prestress level is 20%, the cracking load and yield load of RC beams strengthened with prestressed CFL are 37.5% and 39.3% respectively. It is larger than that of RC beam strengthened with nonprestressed CFL.
