The history of the prestressing strand development length equation / by Tabatabai, H.(Habib)(CARDINAL)319122; Dickson, Timothy J.; United States.Federal Highway Administration.Office of Engineering & Highway Operations Research and Development.(CARDINAL)286896; Construction Technology Laboratories (Portland Cement Association)(CARDINAL)286967;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 105-106).Introduction -- History of the development length equation -- Development length parametric study -- Summary -- Appendices -- References.Final report;A research study was conducted to determine the history of the AASHTO prestressing strand development length equation and to evaluate the significance, with respect to development length, of changes in the AASHTO provisions for the determination of steel stress at ultimate flexural strength. The accuracy of the AASHTO provisions in determining steel stress at ultimate flexural strength was also evaluated for a number of typical cross sections used in bridge construction. The strand development length equation was first introduced in the 1963 ACI Building Code and was adopted by AASHTO in 1973. The original research that formed the basis for the equation was conducted at the Portland Cement Association (PCA) in the late 1950s and early 1960s.Sponsored by Office of Engineering and Highway Operations R&D, Federal Highway Administration, under contract no.

Improved grouts for bonded tendons in post-tensioned bridge structures / by Thompson, N. G.(CARDINAL)311419; Lankard, David R.(CARDINAL)311418; Sprinkel, Michael M.(CARDINAL)312777; United States.Federal Highway Administration.(CARDINAL)139839; Cortest Columbus Technologies, Inc.(CARDINAL)311417;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 133-135).Introduction -- Background -- Task A: Development of accelerated test methods -- Task B: Development of design mixtures for grout -- Task C: Design and conduct laboratory test program -- Task D: Specifications for grout mixtures -- Results -- Conclusions -- Recommendations -- Appendix A -- References.Final report;Grout is the final line of defense against corrosion of the steel tendon. Accordingly, FHWA initiated this study (i) to develop and test new mixture designs for grouts, (ii) to develop and perform accelerated corrosion test methods on the new grouts, and (iii) to compare the corrosion performance of the new grouts with the standard grouts. Several modifiers and additives for grouts were examined, including: high-range water-reducers, fly ash, silica fume, latex polymer modifier, expansive agents, anti-bleed additives, and corrosion inhibitors. It was shown that these additives can greatly affect the fluidity, open-time, bleeding/segregation, chloride permeability, and mechanical properties of the grouts. Several experimental grouts were designed which provided improved properties compared to the more standard grouts presently being used. An accelerated corrosion test method (ACTM) was developed which evaluates the corrosion performance of steel tendons embedded in the grout.Performed by Cortest Columbus Technologies, under contract no.

Eight movements to make the tendons and muscles supple, strengthen the bones = Shu jin zhuang gu gong : 1st form / by Guangde, Zhang,author.(CARDINAL)396987; Sheng, Zhu Mian,1948-translator.(CARDINAL)428666; Atkinson, Mark,Dr.,translator.(CARDINAL)691772; Perret, André,1955-writer of added commentary.(CARDINAL)428665;
Dao Yin Yang Sheng Gong exercises regulate the body, breathing, and mind to improve quality of life. This new volume from Professor Zhang Guangde focuses on increasing mobility and flexibility, strengthening the spine, and rebuilding strength after illness. The author offers detailed guidance on the sequence of 8 movements, each designed to relax the body, improving the flow of blood and energy to strengthen a specific bone or muscle group. An accompanying DVD featuring Professor Zhang Guangde, acknowledged as one of the greatest creators and teachers of qigong health exercises, shows how to carry them out effectively and safely. The movements will be especially beneficial for people suffering from neck, shoulder, lower back and spine problems and will help to promote physical self-confidence and achieve higher levels of physical and mental agility. This book will be useful to practitioners and students of health qigong, and the clear instructions make this book accessible to beginners interested in restoring their health and flexibility.
