Wedge systems offer a versatile approach for improving post-tensioning in concrete structures. These systems utilize wedges that systematically tighten steel strands, creating compressive forces within the concrete matrix. This process strengthens the structural integrity of the concrete, increasing its ability to resist tension and compression for
Performance of Post-Tension Anchorage Systems
Accurate evaluation of post-tension anchorage systems is vital for ensuring the long-term durability of concrete structures. These systems play a critical role in transmitting compressive forces from prestressed steel strands to the surrounding concrete, which considerably influences the structure's overall strength and performance. A variety of fa
