Abstract

Prestressed Concrete framed structure are commonly designed to provide presstressing steel to resist gravity loads. Therefore most of the prestressing tendons are located at the top of the beam at beam-column connections. Experimental and numerical non-linear finite element studies developed by the author show that these types of structures are capable to resist severe cyclic loading provided sufficient care is given. Special attention must be considered in the limitation of ductility demand, partial prestressing ratio and detailings in the potential plastic hinge regions. In this paper a simple and semi-rational design method for partially-prestressed interior beam-column connection in proposed. As the behavior of connectio
