Abstract

An alternative technique for the determination of ultimate moment capacities of round prestressed concrete poles is presented in this paper. The traditional concrete compression area of poles is determined using the conventional iterative design process, the compatibility and equilibrium approach. Moreover, the area of annulus defined by the neutral axis is multiplied by an area reduction factor. It is possible to use numerical methods to calculate the centroid of the reduced annulus. However, the concrete compression zone and strain variation in the longitudinal reinforcement makes the calculation awkward. This paper addresses the problem from a different perspective. No reference to area reduction factor is required in the course of locating the neutral axis. The results are compared in a very satisfactory manner with that obtained using PCI approach. The purpose is to provide formulations that can be easily computerized and implemented on relevant software for the design of round prestressed concrete poles.
