Abstract

The calculation formula for the ultimate flexural capacity of the unbonded prestressed concrete bridge pier is derived, and the relationships between the ultimate bearing capacity and prestressed reinforcement area, the common reinforcement area, the strength of concrete and other influence factors are analyzed. The ultimate flexural capacity of the unbonded prestressed concrete bridge pier is studied based on the plastic-hinge method. Then the influence of different factors on the ultimate flexural capacity is analyzed. Results show that the increase in the area of common reinforcement and the strength of concrete can enhance the ultimate flexural capacity. Moreover, the ultimate bending moment increases first and then decreases with the increasing of the prestressed reinforcement. Thus, the most effective method to increase the ultimate flexural capacity of prestressed concrete bridge pier is to increase regular reinforcement ratio, but to control the number of prestressed reinforcement simultaneously.
