Abstract: |
This study investigates the reinforcing details for the design of anchor blocks with post-tensioning tendons. Finite element analysis on design parameters - dimensions of anchor head and specimen block, reinforcing amount of spiral and transverse confinement steel – was carried out for understanding the stress distribution in the anchorage zone of ultra high performance concrete (UHPC) blocks. Experimental validation of design of anchor blocks for post-tensioning tendons was also carried out to consider the optimal details and dimensions of UHPC end blocks. The obtained results validate the simplification of anchor block details as well as the innovative design of UHPC members with post-tensioning tendons. |
