1, breakage of severalprestressing tendons occurred, as described in Section3.3. The second beam (Beam 2) was then fabricatedusing a lower target pretension value for the tendons.The nominal test beam design was obtained accordingto AASHTO Type 2 beam speci®cations [25]. The stan-dard cross-section of an AASHTO Type 2 beam is shownin Fig. 1.

While the characteristictensile strength values presented in Table 4 were devel-oped for conventional strength concrete …f 0c 641 MPa†,they were used here with higher-strength concrete toobtain guiding values for characteristic tensile strengths.The AASHTO Type 2 beam section is typically used inconjunction with an integral concrete deck that contrib-utes to the structural performance; however, the limitedscope of this program precluded the use of a represen-tative bridge deck. The beam design was therefore basedsolely on the cross-section shown in Fig. 1.A beam analysis was applied in a parametric study toarrive at candidate designs for which the ultimate beamstrength was limited by bending strength, and bendingstrength was limited by the tendon strength.
The ®nalnominal design was 12.19 m long with an allowable live  load of 133 kN based on a two-point loading spaced at2.50 m. (The test con®guration featured a 11.79 m freespan between end supports, as shown in Fig. 2.) Thedesign featured eight prestressing tendons with a cent-roid 102 mm above the bottom of the beam (see Fig. 1),giving an eccentricity of 300 mm below the neutral axis.The test beam was reinforced with vertically alignedshear stirrups. C-Bar brand glass ®ber reinforced poly-mer (GFRP) composite stirrups were used to achieve asteel-free design for Beam 1. The same stirrup shape andspacing were used for both beams. The shear stirrupdesign was constrained by the shape limitations ofC-Bar mentioned earlier. Composite C-shaped bars wereused in a double-C con®guration, as shown in Fig. 1.The two vertical tendons of the double-C shape resistopening forces across shear cracks while the ends keepthe stirrups anchored in the concrete. Shear stirrupswere spaced conservatively so that the test beams wouldfail in bending, not in shear. Fig. 3 shows the variablespacing used for the rebar stirrups in the test beam.Beam 2 featured steel rebar stirrups except for the high-shear zone on one half of the beam where C-Bar wasused (see Fig. 3).Cracking-load and ultimate-strength analyses wereperformed to predict the characteristic failure momentsfor the cross-section designs of the two beams. For bothtypes of analysis, a pure bending response was modeled.Material strains were set proportional to the curvatureof the neutral axis and the vertical distance from theneutral axis. For the initial cracking analysis, linearelastic properties were used for the concrete with anassumed modulus of 27 600 MPa, and a concrete mod-ulus of rupture of 0:62f 0cp (MPa) per Table 4. For theultimate load (cracked-beam) calculation, non-linearcompressive stress/strain behavior of the concrete wasmodeled. A characteristic stress±strain curve was ob-tained for high-strength concrete with f 0c ˆ 67:6MPa[26]. The stress values from this curve were scaled up toachieve the as-measured values of f 0c . Axial stresses inthe cross-section were numerically integrated to com-pute bending moment and axial load as a function ofcurvature, and an iterative scheme was used to deter-mine the proper neutral axis location corresponding tozero axial load. Concrete creep and shrinkage losses were assumed to produce a 13% loss of the initial tendonprestress. The elastic response to pretension loadtransfer was included in the analyses. The moment±curvature relations thus constructed were used in nu-merical beam analyses to predict ultimate loads andde¯ections for four-point bend tests.
