  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. Reinforced concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinforced_concrete

    Reinforcing schemes are generally designed to resist tensile stresses in particular regions of the concrete that might cause unacceptable cracking and/or structural failure. Modern reinforced concrete can contain varied reinforcing materials made of steel, polymers or alternate composite material in conjunction with rebar or not.

  4. PC strand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pc_strand

    PC strand. PC Strand, or prestressed concrete steel strand, is a twisted steel cable composed of 2, 3, 7 or 19 high strength steel wires and is stress-relieved (stabilized) for prestressed concrete or similar purposes.

  5. Concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete

    Concrete is a composite material composed of aggregate bonded together with a fluid cement that cures to a solid over time. Concrete is the second-most-used substance in the world after water, [ 1 ] and is the most widely used building material. [ 2 ] Its usage worldwide, ton for ton, is twice that of steel, wood, plastics, and aluminium combined.

    Logo of Eurocode 2 An example of a concrete structure. In the Eurocode series of European standards (EN) related to construction, Eurocode 2: Design of concrete structures (abbreviated EN 1992 or, informally, EC 2) specifies technical rules for the design of concrete, reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete structures, using the limit state design philosophy.

  7. Eugène Freyssinet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugène_Freyssinet

    Here he studied creep in more detail, and developed his ideas of prestressing, taking out a patent in 1928. [1] Although Freyssinet did much to develop prestressed concrete, he was not its inventor. Other engineers such as Doehring had patented methods for prestressing as early as 1888, and Freyssinet's mentor Rabut built prestressed concrete ...

  8. Modified compression field theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modified_Compression_Field...

    The modified compression field theory (MCFT) is a general model for the load-deformation behaviour of two-dimensional cracked reinforced concrete subjected to shear. It models concrete considering concrete stresses in principal directions summed with reinforcing stresses assumed to be only axial. The concrete stress-strain behaviour was derived ...

  9. Hollow-core slab - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollow-core_slab

    A hollow core slab, also known as a voided slab, hollow core plank or simply a concrete plank is a precast slab of prestressed concrete typically used in the construction of floors in multi-story apartment buildings. The slab has been especially popular in countries where the emphasis of home construction has been on precast concrete, including ...
