Popis: Seven simply supported steel beams were tested to explain the effect of strengthening by external prestressing strands. All of these beams have the same steel section, clear span length and the strengthening samples implemented by two external prestressing strands. The tested beams are divided into two categories according to existing of external prestressing strands, the first category consists of one steel beam as a reference, while, the second group deals with steel beams strengthening by external prestressing strands and consists of six steel beams divided according to the eccentricity location of prestressing strand with jacking stress (814.589 MPa). During the teste, it was found that the load deflection curves for tested beams strengthening with external prestressing strand are stiffer as compare with the reference beams and the percentage of stiffening increase with increasing the eccentricity locations, while, the maximum load deflection increase to 0.173%, 26.086%, 33.043%, 48.521%, 13.739 % and 69.565 % with increasing the eccentricity location from (0 to 165) mm respectively as compare with the reference beam, on the other hand the increasing percentage in deflection at mid span decrease to -29.094%, -7.753%, -19.764%, 11.976%, -8.965% and -23.779% with increasing the eccentricity location from (0 to 165) mm respectively as compare with the reference beam and the quarter span deflection to mid span deflection ratio (δ quarter / δ mid) is bout (0.497) .
