Abstract
On the question of the economic efficiency of a steel beam, prestressed stretching of web
Incoming article date: 08.05.2021The article provides an assessment of the economic efficiency of a prestressed bistal beam, prestressed stretching of web. The comparison is made with a conventional bistal girder without prestressing with the same cross-section. The costs of material, design, production, transportation and installation are considered. It is taken into account that to create pre-stress, more labor costs are always needed, therefore, the manufacture of pre-stressed structures is more expensive than conventional structures. The purpose of prestressing is to reduce the consumption of steel in the fabrication of the structure. The structure of labor costs for the manufacture of structures is given. A comparative analysis of the cost "in business" of a running meter of a beam, prestressed by wall stretching, and a beam without prestressing, depending on the complexity of their manufacture, is carried out.
