Dynamic Programming for Prestressed Concrete Girders

1. Introduction

Recent failures in textile mills have drawn attention to the inadequate treatment of prestressed concrete girders. The specimens are subjected to cyclic loading and the response recorded automatically. The proposed correlation reproduces the experimental data with a scatter of about 35%. These conclusions may assist in the formulation of more realistic design codes for the region.
