Abstract

This paper deals with service behavior of prestressed cracked thin-walled beams. A non linear finite element model for thin-walled beams has been developed. Deflections in the non-linear range are ob- tained by adopting a smeared crack model for concrete in tension. Contribution of steel bars in reducing de- formation has been considered. An example of a thin-walled prestressed girder is presented.
