Post-tensioning devices are vital components in the construction process, guaranteeing structural integrity in concrete elements. These wedges exert significant force on steel strands, which are embedded within the concrete before it cures. The mechanics of post-tensioning depend around transferring this tension to the concrete matrix, ultimately e

Efficient design of prestressing tendon couplers is essential for ensuring the integrity and long-term performance of reinforced concrete structures. These couplers facilitate the transfer of tensile forces between individual tendons, playing a vital role in enhancing the structural strength and durability. The design process involves careful consi
