Stress distribution of long span/smaller heigth

Structural mechanism of the longer span girder with a fixed height

Problem solving of long span/smaller heigth

문제해결방법
Category Bottom flange Upper flange
Problems Limit of allowable compressive stress on the prestress stage Accumulation of compressive stress by the external force and prestressing
Solution 1) Multiple prestressing
2) Section expansion
1) Section expansion
2) Moment prestress
Assessment 1) Uneasy prestressing after slab casting
2) Upgraded constructability with one-stage prestress only
1) Increase of the overturned risk by the section expansion of the upper flange
1) Realization of the stable section with lower center of mass
