Unstressed Strands as Reinforcing
Thanks to all for your input. By way of experiment, I did an Ultimate (ULS) Strength Analysis on a 200mm wide x 500mm 30MPa beam with 2 x 16mm diameter deformed bars (fy = 450MPa, Es = 200GPa), area of steel = 402mm2. I then did an equivalent area-force substitution with 1400MPa strand (Es =...- MarkAllan

Unstressed Strands as Reinforcing
I am researching the use of high strength unstressed wire strands, coiled together, as conventional reinforcing in concrete instead of rebar. I was looking for information on bond strengths, strain compatibility etc, but found nothing substantial as of yet. One bit of information I did find is...- MarkAllan
