An Explorative Investigation of the Flat-Jack Test for Prestress Assessment in Post-Tensioned Concrete Structures

This preliminary study explores the feasibility of using the flat-jack test to assess residual prestress in post-tensioned concrete elements. Experimental testing was conducted on three concrete slabs under controlled laboratory conditions, with known stress states induced by axial loading. Two flat...
