Stress-Relieved Strands
Stress-Relieved Strands
(OP)
I'm trying to track down a stress/strain diagram (or curve equations) for 270K stress-relieved strands. Does anybody know where this might be available?
The strands I am performing the analysis on were stressed in 1985/1986, have the material specs changed since this time?
Thanks in adavance.

RE: Stress-Relieved Strands
As far as material goes, stress relieved strands are no longer readily available. All strands now are low lax. AASHTO std specification contains equations for loss and member strength calculations using Stress relieved strands.

I'll check into AASHTO's specs though, thanks.
