Abstract |
To satisfy with the increased requirements of cost reduction, labor saving, and rapid construction, the purpose of this study is to investigate the structural behavior of PSC monolithic and spliced girders. Three tests were conducted on small-scale girder specimens. This paper presents the result of experimental studies in terms of the load-deflection behavior. Different joint type and tendon amount were investigated as major variables. The monolithic girder was arranged with three tendons. The spliced girder consisted of five segments connected by three tendons. In addition, five-segmented girders connected by more than three tendons were built to examine the effect of the tendon amount. The experimental results show the difference of behavior between monolithic and spliced girders. Moreover, nonlinear finite element method analysis was utilized to verify the experimental result.
