[EN] Pretensioned concrete (PC) is widely used in contemporary construction. Bond of prestressing strand is significant for composite-action between the strand and concrete in the transfer and flexural-bond zones of PC ...
This paper presents an experimental research work to determine both the transmission and the anchorage
lengths of seven-wire prestressing steel strands in different concrete mixes. A testing technique
based on a bond ...

[EN] Fifty seven prestressed concrete beams were fabricated at the University of Arkansas (UA) to determine the influence of concrete strength on the development length of seven wire prestressing strand. The variables ...
The use of 0.7 in. (17.8 mm), Grade 270 (1860) prestressing strands in construction is slow regardless of the engineering advantages of these types of strands. The limited research data and unavailable design guidelines ...
