[EN] Transfer length is a significant parameter in the design of pretensioned
concrete members. This study reports the measured transfer
length of 15.2 mm (0.6 in.) prestressing strands. Twenty-four pretensioned
concrete ...
[EN] The bond between prestressing strands and concrete in the transfer zone of pretensioned concrete members is a complicated mechanism. Concrete creep and shrinkage are dominant time-dependent factors that affect the ...
