Structure and Performance Evaluation of Prestressed Steel Strut Capable Against Tensile and Compressive Stresses
Traditional steel struts cannot be tensioned,and the construction of concrete struts is complex and generates considerable construction waste during the demolition phase.Therefore,prestressed steel struts capable against tensile and compressive stresses have been invented.The performance evaluation results of mechanics,construction adaptability,and cost with a prestressed steel strut capable against tensile and compressive stresses show that its compression bearing capacity is the same as that of a traditional steel strut and equivalent to that of a concrete strut.Furthermore,its tensile and strut stiffness performances are equivalent to those of a concrete strut and superior to those of a traditional steel strut.Its construction convenience is equivalent to that of a traditional steel strut and 20％-30％lower than that of a concrete strut.The first concrete strut replaced by a prestressed steel strut capable against tensile and compressive stresses for metro excavations can not only ensure technical performance but also result in better economic and social benefits.
