Cutting prestressed double T beam
(OP)
Can anyone help me with cutting a prestressed bonded double T beam? I am not able to get to the ends to take out the tension in the strand. Is this possible? any website, books or procedures would be greatly appreciated.

Note that they make double tees and hollow cores in long beds and cut them to length, so I'm guessing the answer is you can do it, but you should call them.

Note that there is a difference between where you can cut a prestressed member and where you should cut one. Without further context on the application, I'm assuming that you've already considered that.
