Hey people,
I am looking for some material properties for some typical high strength pre(or post) tensioning cables.  I seem to recall the typ yeild strength for this material to be in the order of 1000 MPa (140 ksi).  

Thanks

DRW

RE: Pre-tensioning (high strength) cable

Commonly used steel cables today have typical values like this-

UTS 1860 MPa
YPS 1670 MPa

Ciao.

Thanks flamby...
I was pretty sure it was high, but when I started to think about 1000+ MPa, I was starting to second guess myself... And after a quick internet search, I didn't find anything immediately - So I came here.

Cheers

DRW
