    Bonded vs. Unbonded Tendons

    rapt Did you mean to write 'unbonded' as your second word in the third paragraph? Just checking. Thanks.

    Bonded vs. Unbonded Tendons

    I have a question regarding the use of bonded or unbonded tendon equations for flexural strength (ref: ACI 318-05, section 18.7.2). I am wondering if a structure's rigidity plays into whether or not one can use the bonded equation (18-3) or not. My structure is a wall that is built just...

    P/S Concrete Bonded vs. Unbonded Tendons

    So just for clarity, you're suggesting that since there is a very small amount of deflection that the bonded tendon equation for strength is NOT applicable? f that's the case, where does the ACI code point that out? Thanks.

    P/S Concrete Bonded vs. Unbonded Tendons

    That makes sense and I understand that but my question regards one of rigidity. I have a very rigid structure and my deflection is minimal. Even with the high rigidity, is it still applicable to use the bonded flexural equation, ie: is the structure deflecting enough to transfer load along the...
