Testing 7 Wire Strand Prestressed Concrete
Testing 7 Wire Strand Prestressed Concrete
Synopsis
Presents the state-of-the-art of
testing procedures for stress-relieved
and low-relaxation 7-wire strand.
Specific information is given on
material properties, gripping devices,
determining the modulus of elasticity,
testing equipment, and short-term re-
laxation test.
Definitions common to 7-wire strand
and prestressed concrete are includ-
ed.
Discussions of some of the testing
metheods are given together with sug-
gested procedures.
