Since self-compacting concrete (SCC) is a suitable innovation,, understanding the implementation of this type of concrete on the ultimate unbonded tendon stress is critical. For these aims, results of four continuous un-bonded post-tensioned I-beams in two groups were cast and monitored by electrical strain gauges andare presented here. In the first group, the beams (UPN1-12, SUPN1-12) consisted of high strength normal concrete (HSNC), while in the second group (UPS1-12, SUPS1-12) high strength self-compacting concrete (HSSCC) were tested. The beams are made which are compared with the theory proposed by different codes, and a preliminary modification is given for each code equation. The results of standard error of estimate Sy/x , indicates that for two types of HSCs (strengthened and non-strengthened beams), the ACI 318-2011 provides better estimates than AASHTO-2010 model, whereas this model provides better estimates as compared toBS 8110-97.Comparison of increase in experimental ultimate tendon stress of beams indicates that the increase in tendon stress at ultimate state in strengthened beams is lower than that in non-strengthened beams cast with HSCs.
