<jats:p>Prestressed concrete t-beams have complex shear mechanism, and their shear performance is influenced by various factors, such as flange width and prestress. The shear performance of prestressed concrete t-beams has not been solved completely. This study designed and established nine prestressed concrete t-beams and one ordinary reinforced concrete t-beam to investigate the influence of flange width and the number and bending angle of prestressed tendons on the shear bearing capacity of concrete t-beams. The crack development, failure form, mid-span deflection, and concrete strain of the prestressed concrete t-beams were measured to analyze the load–deflection relationship; the concrete strain in the compressive zone; and the shear bearing capacity under different flange widths, reinforcement ratios of prestressed tendons, and bending angles. Experimental results were verified by the outputs of the bearing capacity calculation formula specified in China, America, Canada, and Europe. The results demonstrate that the increase in flange width, bending angle, and number of prestressed tendons can improve the internal force and shear bearing capacity of t-beams significantly. However, the flange width has less evident influence on the shear bearing capacity. The positive effect of the flange is evident under a specific flange width. For example, when the ratio of the flange width to the web width is greater than 4. The shear bearing capacity of the prestressed concrete t-beams is large when the reinforcement ratio and bending angle of the prestressed tendons are great. This study has reference values for revealing the shear failure mechanism of prestressed concrete t-beams under concentrated loads and provides a basis for engineering design.

摘要:
Due to the complexity of components and damage mechanism of reinforced concrete, the wave propagation characteristics in reinforced concrete are always complicated and difficult to determine. The objective of this article is to study the failure process of reinforced concrete structure under the damage caused by pencil-broken. A new method on the basis of the acoustic emission technique and the Hilbert-Huang transform theory is proposed in this work. By using acoustic emission technique, the acoustic emission wave signal is generating while the real-time damage information and the strain field of the reinforced concrete structure is receiving simultaneously. Based on the Hilbert-Huang transform (HHT) theory, the peak frequency characteristics of the acoustic emission signals were extracted to identify the damage modes of the reinforced concrete structure. The results demonstrate that this method can quantitatively investigate the acoustic emission wave propagation characteristic in reinforced concrete structures and might also be promising in other civil constructions.
