ABSTRACT
This paper gives initially general steps of the finite element method, in which provision is made for three-dimensional bond and bond-slip existing between prestressing tendons and the surrounding concrete. On the basis of this analysis, a computer program OBAID has been modified to analyze structures with bonded tendons. An octagonal prestressed concrete slab has been analysed. The analytical results obtained compare well with those available from the experiment on this slab.
