Flexural Behavior of Precast Concrete Segmental Box-Girders with Dry Joints by Shun Chai, Tong Guo, Zheheng Chen, Jun Yang

“…Numerical simulation is further conducted, where it is found that the area of prestressed tendon and the number of joints have a significant influence on ultimate flexural bearing capacity and deflection; besides, deflection control standard of PCS girders should be stricter than that of the integral cast girder. The corbel joints, in general, show better ultimate performance than the castle-shaped joints.…”
