| 摘要： | The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials' AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications have a refined method for the calculation of time-dependent losses in prestressing force. This method estimates a gain in the prestressing force due to differential shrinkage between the precast concrete girder and the cast-in-place deck; however, it does not consider the possibility of cracking in the deck. Some state departments of transportation believe that after the deck cracks, the gain in the prestressing force is lost, and they do not include it in the prestress loss calculations. Some other state departments of transportation believe that not all of the prestress gain is lost and allow some percentage of the gain to be retained. This study focuses on the effect of deck cracking on the long-term loss of prestressing force. A finite element software model was used to simulate three different girder lengths with varying deck concrete strengths, differential shrinkage parameters, and girder ages at the time the deck was placed. When the girder age at the time of deck placement is more than 60 days, there is a high probability that the deck will crack, though a deck placed on a girder of any age may crack, depending on the properties of the deck and girder. When the deck cracks, some of the gain of prestressing force is lost, but the percentage lost depends on the extent of cracking in the deck. The older the girder is when the deck is placed, the greater the cracking. The cracked deck still provides some restraint, and even in cracked decks, nearly 50% of the prestress gain due to differential shrinkage was retained. |
