" Use Tse of Unstressed Strands for Connections of Precast Concrete Members" by Xiao Liang and Sri Sritharan, which appeared in the May-June 2021 issue of PCI Journal, includes both experimental and analytical programs to explore the bond behavior and overall performance of unstressed strands for seismic applications in positive moment connections of precast concrete girders. Background information was provided on the differences in bond behavior between unstressed and prestressed strand, including a discussion of the Hoyer effect. In addition, work by Salmons and McCrate1 and Noppakunwijai et al.2 was referenced. |
