3 Overview Design Code Family(s): DIN Design Code(s): DIN EN Module(s): AQB, CSM Input file(s): creep shrinkage.dat 1 Problem Description The problem consists of a simply supported beam with a rectangular cross-section of prestressed concrete, as shown in Fig. 1. The time dependent losses are calculated, considering the reduction of stress caused by the deformation of concrete due to creep and shrinkage, under the permanent loads. h M y N p A p z p Figure 1: Problem Description 2 Reference Solution This example is concerned with the calculation of creep and shrinkage on a prestressed concrete cs, subject to bending and prestress force. The content of this problem is covered by the following parts of DIN EN :2004 [1]: Creep and Shrinkage (Section 3.1.4) Annex B: Creep and Shrinkage (Section B.1, B.2) Time dependent losses of prestress for pre- and post-tensioning (Section ) The time dependant losses may be calculated by considering the following two reductions of stress [1]: due to the reduction of strain, caused by the deformation of concrete due to creep and shrinkage, under the permanent loads the reduction of stress in the steel due to the relaxation under tension. In this Benchmark the stress loss due to creep and shrinkage will be examined. 3 Model and Results Benchmark 17 is here extended for the case of creep and shrinkage developing on a prestressed concrete simply supported beam. The analysed system can be seen in Fig. 2, with properties as defined in Table 1. Further information about the tendon geometry and prestressing can be found in Benchmark 17. The beam consists of a rectangular cs and is prestressed and loaded with its own weight. A calculation of the creep and shrinkage is performed in the middle of the span with respect to DIN EN :2004 SOFiSTiK 2018 Benchmark No. 18 3

4 (German National Annex) [1], [2]. The calculation steps [3] are presented below and the results are given in Table 2 for the calculation with AQB. For CSM only the results of the creep coefficients and the final losses are given, since the calculation is performed in steps.

SOFiSTiK accounts not only for the age at start of drying t s but also for the influence of the age of the prestressing t 0. Therefore, the calculation of factor β ds reads: β ds = β ds (t, t s ) β ds (t 0, t s ) (t t s ) β ds = (t t s ) h 3 0 (t 0 t s ) (t 0 t s ) h 3 0 ( ) β ds = ( ) β ds = = (6): Tab. 3.3: k h coefficient depending k h = 0.70 for h mm on h 0 ε cd,0 = 0.85 ( α ds1 ) exp Annex B.2 (1): Eq.
