Overview
abstract
This dataset contains metadata and data collected during TxDOT Project 0-6863 on development of standards for precast, pretensioned concrete bent caps. Phase 2 tests are contained in this dataset. The Phase 2 setup consisted of a longer overhang and interior span than Phase 1, allowing for application of larger moment demands. Phase 2 consisted of two specimens, both with 28 longitudinal prestressing strands, 12" spacing of shear reinforcement, and internal voids for weight reduction. Void location and details varied between the two specimens (PSV-28A and PSV-28B). Data provided includes specimen as-built drawings, construction timeline, measured material properties, test setup details, load patterns/sequence, applied loads at key points during test, and crack data (location and width).
