ABSTRACT

Now borrowing ideas from the ninth reference, regarding that the PSRC beam which is consist of steel ribs (S) and prestressed reinforced concrete (PRC), thus the flexural capacity of PSRC beam can be acquired by adding the two part’s flexural capacities together. The calculation formula is given by

M ≤ Mprcbu + Mssby (1)

where M = design value of bending moment at section; Mssby = flexural capacity of steel ribs; Mprcbu = flexural capacity of PRC department.
