摘要：This paper proposes the method of enlarging section combined with prestressed tendon (Enlarging Section-Prestress Method), which has the advantages of both increasing section and external prestressing, such as reducing section height, the prestressing tendon do not rust easily, and the appearance is beautiful. Model tests were carried out, two rectangular beam models with the same section and length were made, one was reinforced by Enlarging Section-Prestress Method, and no reinforced action was taken as a control. Two points of concentrated load were applied to the model beams, and the two tests were compared in terms of deflection-load characteristics and crack development. The experimental results show that the Enlarging Section-Prestress Method is effective, which improved the ultimate bearing capacity of the beam obviously, and reduced the deflection of the trabecular beam.
