Several researchers have studied the behavior and the use of concrete staves, which are segmented beams in structural systems, especially bridges and overpasses, in civil engineering. For this reason, numerous studies have been published in recent years supported by experimental tests and numerical analyzes. The behavior of these beams in contrast to the conventional monolithic beams in different ways because the structure is composed of portions of pre-cast concrete elements which after being placed in situ are prestressed. The prestressing can be adhered or otherwise attached. The main advantage of this system of construction is speed and high quality control, so it is widely used; there is a demand forecast study their actual behavior. In this paper, we present a finite element model to simulate the behavior of composite beams prestressed by adherent with staves. Therefore, the objective of this research is to make a contribution to the study of static structural behavior of beams targeted observing the behavior of joints using a commercial program. For the model are employed standard techniques of discretization via the finite element method (FEM), using the finite element program SAP2000 [90]. The model is made of elements suitable for plaque to represent the actual beam, the prestressing is introduced by means of two-dimensional bar which transfer the stresses along its length and the joints are implemented using contact elements proposed by the program, called Link. The analysis is two dimensional and considers the effects of prestressing losses. This research also aims to study the contact elements especially the characteristics of deformation to this computational tool. The definition of parameters for the model was based on experimental data available in literature. The numerical model was calibrated and compared with experimental results obtained in laboratory trials.
