Figure 2.6 Effect of burst<strong>in</strong>g & spall<strong>in</strong>g stresses through exaggerated deformations ofbeam with discont<strong>in</strong>uities (after Hawk<strong>in</strong>s, 1966)2.3 BURSTING & SPALLING ANALYSIS IN PRESTRESSED BEAM END REGIONSThe general framework of several analytical techniques are described <strong>in</strong> thissection. For more thorough coverage, the reader is directed to Iyengar (1962), Gergely,Sozen <strong>and</strong> Siess (1963) or Hawk<strong>in</strong>s (1966). After this general treatment, analytical resultsgermane to two topics (the role of end blocks <strong>and</strong> the behavior of U-beams at transfer ofprestress) are presented.2.3.1 General Approaches to AnalysisThe general approaches to analysis of end-region behavior <strong>in</strong> prestressed concretebeams are outl<strong>in</strong>ed <strong>in</strong> Figure 2.7. These analytical approaches lie <strong>in</strong> three doma<strong>in</strong>s: elasticapproaches, <strong>in</strong>elastic approaches <strong>and</strong> plastic approaches.13
