Abstract

Vlasov's hypothesis provides a way to solve the torsional problem with warping torsion of double T-beam section. Not only the warping torsion of the gross section of double T-beam but the torsional resistances of PS tendons and reinforcements have to be considered together in the analysis in which the latter is the restoring roles provided by the upward and downward force components in a geometrical symmetric configuration. It means that the torsional resistances of PS tendons and reinforcements, usually ignored, store the strain energies due to up-downward geometrical changes. Space frame element with 7-degrees of freedom are used for the finite element approximation of the real behaviors. Bimoments and angles of twist obtained from the proposed method show good agreements with those of 3-D. finite element analysis and analytical analysis
