Grouting of Pre/Post Tensioned Cable Ducts
Grouting of the post-tensioned cables in the post or prestressed concrete is carried out to provide permanent protection to the steel cables against corrosion. It also develops a bond between cables and surrounding concrete which fills the duct space and ...
Tests on Metallic Sheathing Ducts – Workability, Transverse Load, Tensile Load, and Water Loss Test
The sheathing ducts are used in Pre and Post tension of concrete members to create a void in the concrete, through which the cables/tendons are inserted and remain free to stretch during stressing operation. The sheathing ducts are available in ...
Mix Design of High Strength Concrete -Methods, Procedure and Example
Mix design of high strength concrete is influenced by properties of cement, sand aggregates & water-cement ratio have compressive strength above 40 MPa. To achieve high strength, it is necessary to use lowest possible water-cement ratio, which invariably affects the ...
MEASURING LOSS OF PRESTRESS IN PRESTRESSED CONCRETE
Instruments for measuring loss of prestress in prestressed concrete: The initial pre-stressing force applied to the concrete element reduces due to elastic shortening of the concrete, anchorage losses, frictional losses etc. The pre-stressing force further reduces with the passage of ...
Specifications of Prestressing Steel in Prestressed Concrete
Specifications of Prestressing Steel in Prestressed Concrete For prestressed concrete members, the high-tensile steel, used generally, consists of wires, bars or strands. The high tensile strength of steel is generally achieved by marginally increasing the carbon content in steel in ...
Prestressed Concrete- Advantages and Disadvantages
Prestressed concrete is the most durable, reliable and strongest concrete that is widely used for the construction of mega buildings and bridges. It is a type of concrete in which high-strength tendons placed in tension regions of the cross-section are ...
Pre-Tensioning and Post-Tensioning in Prestressed Concrete Design
The prestressed concrete design of a structure is influenced by either of the two processes, pre-tensioning, and post-tensioning. Pre-tensioning can be further classified into two categories such as linear pre-tensioning and circular pre-tensioning. Pre-Tensioning and Post-Tensioning in Prestressed Concrete Design ...
