ACI 318-11, Appendix D, D.3.3.4.3, Upset Threads and Stretch Length
(OP)
I've been studying the referenced ACI code section, specifically (a)3 and a(5), and am having a hard time understanding what exactly 'stretch lengths' are, how it's detailed, the benefits of its use. Also, I can't find a clear definition/explanation of what 'upset threads' are. I've tried reading the commentary and it's helped, but was wondering if anyone knew of a publication elaborating on this, or provide elaboration on this thread.
Thanks
Thanks
