If a prestressed member is allowed to displace freely, as in the case of determinate stractares or precast members prior te slignment and installation, no hyperstatc (secondary) moments are generated However, in most cast-in-place construction, where supports con- surnin movement of the presiessed member, Ayperstatic actions can be significant and therefore must be accounted for in a design, 1.2 Byperstatic Actions and Sectional Strength Consider the hypothetical case of a two-span, post-tesioned bea, ‘which was cast and sessed prior to installation (Fig. 1.2-1). To elim- ‘nate the iropact of selE-weight from the discussion, assume thatthe beam is sesting freely on its side. Before installation, the tendon forces cause the beam camber indicated by the curved soffit in Fig. L210), The camber is due solely tothe flexing of the beam under the action ofits prestressing tendons. At installation, the beam must be forced down ct the center to become strait before it can be tad to the aligned supports shown in Fig. L2-1(@). The forces at the sup- Ports necessary #0 hold the beam in its designated postion are indica- tive of hypersiaic (Secondary) reactions that would lave Been gener- ated ifthe beam had been cast fist, and stressed afterwards.

When the tendons are sttessed the eamber shown in Fig, 1.2-1(b} is prevented and adlition- al retctions are developed at the supports, These reactions ate called the bypesstate (Secondary) actions. The reactions atthe sepports are dve to postensioning only {sel-weight is wrexed separately). The free-dody diagram of the beam detached from its supports is shown in Fig. 12-2(@). Since, in this example, the supports are assumed hinged, no moments ae developed at these locations, These reac- tions, being the only forces in the beam, must forma a selteqpilibrat- ing system, That isto say, the sum of hyperstaic (secondary) reac tions most be 2240: S Ry = 0 a S Myp = 0 Q wihere Rig is the hypersati cezction and My isthe hyperstatie ‘moment.

Later the special requirements for the analysis of segmental constuction are acdressed, 2A Skeletal Structures 2d Direct Method The direct method is based on the definition of hypersttic actions (moments and shears) as desorbed in the preceding section. Observe atypical rene as shown in Fig. 2.1.1-1, The fratn is subject to dead loading, ive loeding and post-tensioning, The reactions caused atthe supports are due fall the loading components - namely, dead, live ‘and post-ensiosing or prestessing.

The free body diagram is complete as shown in the figure (rote that there is ao dead or live loading shown), [tis not necessary to include the balanced loading deve to posttensioting in this diagram, since the tendon is considered in-place in the loading diagram.

The hyperstatic reactions and shears are then calcu ited from the hyperstatic moments, 2.1.3 Comparison of the two methods Both methods yield the same rests, provided the balanced Toading is comely mtodeled., Orherwise, both solutions are approximate, with the difference thatthe direct method's solutions are: more consistent in satisfying the overall equilibrium of the strucwre, ‘Apart from its generality and accuracy, an advantage of the direct ‘method is that it does not require the knowledge of the eecenticity of the tendon {e), or is force (P) for the computation of hyperstatic ‘moments, onve the post-tensioning reactions are computed. 24d Example of a Skeletal Structure ‘Consider a design strip from a. two-way floor system, which is being designed using a siab Frame modeling technique, such as the Equivalent Frame Method (refer to Fig, 2.1 4-1, A three-imensional view of the frame is shown in Fig, 2.1.42, Herein, fits the direct ‘method is used to compute the hyperstatic moments of the two-way slab example, The hyperstatic moments obrained are checked against the conventional cethod {indirect method} of calexlation to deron- EE post -TENSIONING INSTITUTE strate thar both schemes yield the same solution, Portis example the design stip was analyzed using the ADAPE-PT soltvare package ‘The software accnaiely captures ie balanoed loading inthe structur- Al model.

Since (i) the BE oP ost -TENSIONING INSTITUTE hypersatc actions are caused by the resistance of the supports to the fiee movemest of the structure, and Gi) the configuration ofthe strue- ture a its support conditions change overtime, the computation of hypetstatic actions com #0 longer be based on the geometry and pre- stressing ofthe completed structure, In this cose a incremental computational procedure must be adopted, At each stage of constuction, ané for each application of prestress- ing, the increment in hyperstatc actions must be calculated, The hyperstatic actions due to each application or change in prestessing mst be accumulated to yield the total of the hyperstatie actions at any given stage, The concepts required for computation of hypersatic actions in seg- ‘mental consimction is described next through an istrative exemple. For details refer to [ADAPT ABI Manual, 1997).

A simple eross section and presiressing pat- tem are selected. 23.2 Example of a Segmental Construction ig, 22.2+1 shows the stages of construction of a two-spaa, continu. ‘ous bear, Each span consists of a precast, preswessed girder of rec- langulac cross section, The girders are transported to the site and Jnstalled with @ gap over the central pier {efecto the gure). pre- installed duct is te precast girders is made continuous across the gap and the gap is cast to splice te ive ginders together.
