  2. Prestressed concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prestressed_concrete

    Prestressed beam without load. Prestressed beam with load. Prestressed concrete is a form of concrete used in construction. It is substantially "prestressed" (compressed) during production, in a manner that strengthens it against tensile forces which will exist when in service. [1][2]: 3–5 [3] It was patented by Eugène Freyssinet in 1928.

  3. 2b2t - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2b2t

    2b2t.org (server) [ 5 ] 2b2t (2builders2tools) is a Minecraft server founded in December 2010. 2b2t has essentially no rules and players are not permanently banned, known within Minecraft as an " anarchy server". [ 2 ] As a result, players commonly engage in the destruction of other players' and groups creations, colloquially called " griefing ...

  4. PC strand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pc_strand

    The prestressed strands of the mold are twisted to form a mold compression process, the structure is more compact, and the surface layer is more suitable for anchoring. Production of unbonded prestressed steel strand (unbonded steel strand) using ordinary prestressed steel wire, coated with oil or paraffin after the packaging into high-density ...

    Significant advance. developments in prestressed concrete. Awards. IStructE Gold Medal Frank P. Brown Medal (1950) Wilhelm Exner Medal (1960) Eugène Freyssinet (French: [øʒɛn fʁɛsinɛ]) (13 July 1879 – 8 June 1962) was a French structural and civil engineer. He was the major pioneer of prestressed concrete.

  6. Tensioned stone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tensioned_stone

    This method of construction is widely used for concrete structures, but the advantages of using similar techniques with stone are only just being realised.". [4] For concrete, this problem has been long solved: in addition to conventional tensile reinforcement, engineers developed prestressed concrete methods starting around 1888. Such tension ...

  7. Concrete cone failure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete_cone_failure

    Under tension loading, the concrete capacity of a single anchor is calculated assuming an inclination between the failure surface and surface of the concrete member of about 35°. The concrete cone failure load N 0 {\displaystyle N_{0}} of a single anchor in uncracked concrete unaffected by edge influences or overlapping cones of neighboring ...

  8. Extradosed bridge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extradosed_bridge

    An extradosed bridge employs a structure that combines the main elements of both a prestressed box girder bridge and a cable-stayed bridge. [1] [2]: 85 [3] The name comes from the word extrados, the exterior or upper curve of an arch, and refers to how the "stay cables" on an extradosed bridge are not considered as such in the design, but are instead treated as external prestressing tendons ...

  9. Rigid-frame bridge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigid-frame_bridge

    A Rigid-frame bridge is a bridge in which the superstructure and substructure are rigidly connected to act as a continuous unit. Typically, the structure is cast monolithically, making the structure continuous from deck to foundation. The connections between members are rigid connections which transfer bending moment, axial forces, and shear ...
