  • Which Design Concept for Prestressed Steel? MILOSLAV TOGHACEK and FRANCIS GENE AMRHEIN

    PRESTRESSED STEEL STRUCTURES are those in which, during manufacture, assembly, or exploitation, deliberate stresses are produced of precise magnitude, direction, and period of duration.

    The most significant aims of prestressing are: enlarge-ment of the elastic range in which the structure works; redistribution of internal stresses or forces; improve-ment of stability; increase of fatigue resistance; de-crease in deformations; wider use of high strength steels.

    Some examples of the many types of prestressed steel structures and methods of prestressing are: rigid basic structures (girders, trusses, frames, masts, towers, etc.) prestressed by high strength tendons; systems or networks of prestressed flexible strings (hanging roofs and walls, etc.);- multi-layer and hybrid beams or vessels (simultaneous use of different materials as concrete and steel, carbon steel and quenched-tempered steel, etc.) ; statically indeterminate structures pre-stressed by enforced displacement of redundant re-straints (usually by enforced shifting of some redundant supports or by compelled assembly of some elements fabricated with planned dimension "inaccuracies"); removal or exploitation of residual, secondary, or other "parasi te" stresses (from welding, temperature treatments, mechanical operations with steel in cold state, unwanted constructional rigidity of some details, etc.). Prestressed structures utilizing tendons are the most widely used and most economical.

    Prestressing could be utilized in many types of steel structures of civil, naval, aircraft, mechanical, and electrical engineering, both in designing new structures and strengthening old ones. In civil engineering, prestressing could be exploited mainly in: roofing, especially of great areas; structures of industrial plat-forms; cladding and wall panels; craneway girders and crane bridges; highway, railroad and transportation

In this paper, the authors wish to discuss the distinct concepts which could be used in proportioning prestressed metal structures, and to recommend the best one for common usage.

    PRINCIPAL CONCEPTS IN PROPORTIONING During the design of a structure, two conditions must be considered to insure safety, to meet the service require-ments, and to provide economy; these two conditions involve the state of stress and the state of deformation, respectively. Of the two, the state of stress inherently contains more problems and merits more consideration.

    State of Stress

    Concept of Allowable StressesThe analysis of non-pre-stressed structures according to allowable stresses7-9 is based on a unique safety factor for all stretched, com-pressed or bent** elements (Fig. l a )

    T h e basic allowable stressin tension, pure com-pression, or bending (from which the values for the other types of stresses could be derived, e.g., by the use of failure theories)has been determined from the yielding point crUm = ayp using the safety factor v = 1.667 (Sec. 1.5 in Ref. 7 and Table 1.3 in Ref. 9), so that

    Gail 1.667 = 0.6cru

    This value corresponds9 to the expected maximum deviations, 2 5 % from the standard yield point, + 2 5 % from the standard loadings.

    The term " a standard value" is hereby interpreted to mean the usual or most probable value as prescribed in specifications, codes, etc., and is explained more fully in the section regarding the Concept of Limit States Design.

    For some specific wider combinations of loads (Sec. 1.57) the safety factor could be reduced to

    v = 3^(1.667) = 1.25

    Related to ultimate stress aUm = aus, the considered safety factor is z^ > 2.0 (Sec. 1.5.1.17), and for wire-ropes v = 1.5 through 3.0 (Sec. 103).

    In the concept of allowable stresses, a structural member is considered safe if the stress produced in it due to an external load q meets the criterion

    and M. Mortensen16 et al. Fritz's method is a simplified and, unfortunately, an imperfect limit states analysis (as described in the next section). The fundamental condition of safety has the form

    Let us illustrate the difference between the designs according to allowable stresses and limit states, respec-tively, by a simple problem. Consider a stretched bar prestressed by a high-strength tendon as shown in Fig. 4. The governing relations are assembled in Table 1 and prestress is assumed to be introduced before any load acts on the bar. Effects of dead loads are denoted by subscript g and effects of live loads by subscript p;

    subscript i is a general notation for any type of load. Subscripts u and / at prestress accuracy factors nv designate their upper or lower value, respectively: nvu > 1.0; nvi < 1.0.

    The assumed values of parameters and the numerical results are indicated in Table 2. Obviously, the limit states design brings material savings to the non-pre-stressed structures (Ao), especially because of low values of safety factor ngu 1.1 for dead loads. When the limit states design is used in the prestressed structures (A + Av), such an economy is nearly lost. This is caused chiefly by the necessity of considering both values nu < 1.0, niu > 1.0 of load factors and prestress-accuracy factors, for the sake of safety. Material is differently distributed than in the allowable stresses analysis; prestressing force V is of a greater value, economy from prestressing (A + Av)/A0 is a little less. However, the safety of the prestressed structure has grown larger due to all discrepancies being removed.

    State of DeformationsThe aforementioned problems are not encountered in the analysis of deformations of prestressed structures. No matter which concept is used to design the prestressed structure, the conditions limiting the deformation are the same.

    The formulas have been written in the symbols of the limit state analysis: 8q is the deformation due to the load; 8V is the deformation due to prestressing; A is the standard deformation (a limit prescribed by speci-fications).

    The bars over the symbols emphasize that the deformations are computed for standard loads as

    25

  • requested by rules of limit states design. Also the dynamic coefficients K > 0 are not considered when checking deformations. The reason is that the deformations are checked for the frequent conditions of service and not for an extraordinary stage when the structure is shortly overloaded to the greatest possible extent (such a possi-bility is studied in the analysis of the state of stresses).

    Difficulties encountered in the state of stress dis-appear, as neither the safety factor v, nor the load coefficient nor the prestress accuracy factor nv influence Eqs. (23) and (24). However, another problem arises for elements of Group I resulting from service requirements or dictated by esthetic aspects: that is, are the conditions of Eqs. (23) and (24) really suitable for prestressed structures, or should we satisfy a stricter condition:

    H~8\ < A' (25) Q

    Let us compare the analysis according to both conditions in an example of a simply supported beam (Fig. 5), where the deformation 8 represents the de-flection / .

    The supporters of the stricter conditions, Eq. (25), consider the deflection from prestressing (Fig. 5a) as an

    initial camber resulting from the manufacture of the girder (Fig. 5b); and in structures with a camber, the design deflection A is usually measured from the cambered position (Fig. 5d).

    On the other hand, the advocates of Eq. (23) treat the prestressing effects as a special kind of external loading. They compare, for example, the girder pre-stressed by a straight tendon (Fig. 5a) with one having loaded overhanging ends (Fig. 5c). This load could be regarded as a. dead load of the usual type or as a special means of prestressingballast. Naturally, when check-ing deformations, a unique standpoint should be em-ployed for both cases (Figs. 5a and 5c); i.e., to measure the limit deformation A from the horizontal axis (Fig. 5e).

    Our recommendation is to consider the upward deflection from prestressing as a camber and to sum it up with constructional camber, and then to disregard the deflection due to the dead load, if the total camber is greater than this deflection (Fig. 6a). If they are equal, take into account only the difference between the values due to the dead load and the total camber in a case when the total camber is less than the deflection due to the dead load (Fig. 6b). Formulas appearing in Fig. 6 are then in force.

  • Additional Information about Limit States Design The concept of limit states design was introduced first in the Soviet Union17-18 in the 60's, and later in other East European countries. For the present, the limit states analysis is utilized only for civil engineering structures other than bridges, because not enough ex-perimental data have been gathered to specify all needed coefficients and parameters for the latter.* The re-search work on the fundamentals for design of bridges according to limit states is in progress, so that speci-fications and standards for bridges could be expected to be issued in a few years. In recent years, the limit states design concept has been studied seriously in Western European states as well.22 There are signs that the United States will also follow in the use of limit states design eventually, Sec. 103; Art. 1.69; p. 1377.6-20-21

    Two limit states are distinguished in metal structures:

    First limit statewhen checking strength and stability. Second limit statewhen checking deformations.

    When investigating the first limit state, the so-called design loading is to be used; with the second limit state, the standard loading. If required by the character of loading, the fatigue of materials is accounted for in the computations according to the first limit state; in this case the standard loading is considered.

    In checking the second limit state, there are no substantial alterations from present concepts. There are, however, major changes in the calculations according to the first limit state.

    The unique safety factor v, Eq. (1), has been replaced by three groups of factors as they appear in Eqs. (21) and (22):

    (a) the load factors nq or the prestress accuracy factor

    (b) the working condition factor m (c) the homogeneity factor k The improbability of the simultaneous appearance

    of the most critical load combination is handled by a decreasing grouping factor c < 1.0.

    Coefficients and parameters prescribed by speci-fications for the limit states design have been obtained by a statistical analysis of numerous sets of data and test results. The arrangement of coefficients and compu-tations not only results in a safe and more scientific

    * On the contrary, in the U.S.A. tentative criteria for the load factor design were first prepared for bridges.20

    ** Furthermore, coefficients nq and nv are differentiated (Table 3) according to: character of loading (nqu = 1.1 for self-weight; nqU = 7.4 for snow); critical combinations of loading (where more severe, lower values of coefficients nql < 7.0 or nvi < 7.0 are to be used rather than the upper values nqu > 7.0 or nvu> 7.0).

    Principal information concerning the factors en-countered in limit states design arc presented in Tables 3 through 7, predominantly according to Czechoslovak sources.19 At the present time, Czechoslovakia is the only country having specifications for designing pre-stressed steel structures.!

    Table 3 is comprised of the common values of the load factors nQ and of the prestress accuracy factors nv. The standard loads whose effects are to be multiplied by the mentioned coefficients are, in principle, the same as those used in the design according to allowable stress.

    The values of the grouping factors c appear in Table 4 along with some basic information concerning three groups of loading (basic, wider and extraordinary com-binations).

    The homogeneity factors k (Table 5) account for the possibility that the actual limit stress (yield point ayp, yield stress a0.2, or ultimate stress aus) could be smaller than that assumed by specifications and denoted by bars over the symbols. The more complex (e.g., either in chemistry or production method) the material, the lower the value of k. By the aid of the homogeneity factor, another danger is also guarded against: the deviations of the actual profile of the element from that stated in the manufacturer's catalog.

    The working condition factors m are used to account for peculiarities of behavior of some exceptional or unusual structural detail or element where the frequent

Subscript 1 denotes the respective quantities for one wire. Obviously, the term "min imum breaking strength" is not quite precise (the Continental nomenclature uses the term "nominal ultimate strength") because the actual strength at failure is smaller and could be approximately determined by multiplying the specified breaking strength by homogeneity factor m < 1.0 from Table 6.

    c T h e higher value of k, tha t value for the uncoated wires, is to be used for the zinc-coated wires, if the minimum breaking strength

If heavier coatings are utilized, the homogeneity factor k need not be decreased when the specified mini-m u m breaking strengths are adequately reduced.

    methods of analysis are not quite reliable or suitable. For example, stress concentrators (grooves, notches, cavities, holes, etc.) increase stresses locally above the average value; then m < 1.0. In another case, due to the plastic reserve of ductile materials, a detail or a section may have a greater bearing capacity than supposed by the "elastic" analysis; then m > 1.0.

    In prestressed steel structures, the working condition factors of tendons (Table 6) are of a special interest: for instance, in tendons composed of several elements (wire ropes, cables, etc.), stress is distributed non-uniformly among the elements and, therefore, over-stressing of some elements could occur; hence, it is reasonable to introduce m < 1.0. Other working condi-tion factors m for prestressed steel structures are listed in Table 7.

    I t is necessary to draw the reader's attention to the fact that in the United States, a higher safety factor (v =

    1.667) for constructional steels is specified than was in Europe (y = 1.50). The mentioned coefficients and parameters of the limit states design have been deter-mined to correlate with the concept of allowable stress and a safety factor v = 1.50. To employ the concept of limit states and not deviate too much from the American safety factor v = 1.667, it is reasonable to take into consideration, in addition to the other working con-dition factors, a supplemental factor m = 1.5/1.667 = 0.9.

    The supplemental working condition factor m = 0.9 normally need not be employed for tendons of wire-ropes, cables or wires. Limit states design using factors from Tables 3 through 6 gives approximately equivalent results as the usual U. S. design (Sec. 103).

    If more than one of the working condition factors m would be employed, just their product is used. However, if more than one of them is greater than 1.0, for the sake of greater safety, it is better to consider in this product only the greatest factor mmax > 1.0.

    The value could be raised if it is reasoned by results of tests.

    CONCLUSIONS

    The brief analysis of principal concepts of proportioning prestressed steel structures presented has demonstrated that the concept of allowable stress is not suitable at all for these structures. Special character of these structures requires the use of more ingenious concepts of which the limit states design seems to be the most suitable.

    The usage of the allowable stress concept for non-prestressed structures could be tolerated as long as such large safety factors like 1.667 (related to yielding point) or 3.0 (related to ultimate stress) are utilized. However, future efforts for a higher economy and lower costs of structures will lead to reductions of safety factors. Since the appropriate safety is to be maintained, there will probably be no other way than to use the limit states concept for non-prestressed structures too.
