| Abstract | This paper presents the results of a research project aimed at providing standard circular web openings to the popular precast pretensioned inverted T-beam. The main advantage of these openings is that mechanical equipment can pass through the webs of inverted T-beams. Another advantage is a slight reduction in inverted T-beams weight that would improve the demand on the supporting frame both under gravity loading and seismic excitation. Opening size and placement and required materials strengths were investigated. Also, the effects of using straight tendons, rather than two-point depression and one-point depression, of the prestressing strands were investigated. In this paper the nonlinear analysis and design of simply supported pre-tensioned inverted T-beam with circular web openings are presented. Two design parameters are varied such as: opening location and numbers of openings. The results from a nonlinear finite element analysis are substantiated by test results from five pretensioned inverted T-beam with web opening and one solid beam. Good agreement is shown between the theoretical and the experimental results. The effect of openings on the behavior of such beams at different stages of loading is presented. The test results obtained from this investigation show that the performance of the specimens with web openings was almost identical to that of the specimen without web openings. A simple design method for estimating the cracking load for the different crack patterns is proposed. Based on these tests, design recommendations are made that will allow the addition of web openings to inverted T-beam with minimal additional calculation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
