Obviously, these girders exhibited semiductile flexural failure due to the presence of longitudinal nonprestressed reinforcement overall the section.

Behavior of Strengthened Composite Prestressed Concrete Girders under Static and Repeated Loading

No fracture and sealing off occur at the pier head between nonprestressed reinforcement and end plate.

After the nonprestressed reinforcement yielded, the following hysteresis curve is carried out under displacement control; there is no obvious bearing capacity drop in the cycles of the same displacement and the hysteresis loop is plump and stable, so the specimens have good energy dissipation capacity.
