3、A416M-17 1. SCOPE 1.1. This specification covers two grades of uncoated low-relaxation, seven-wire steel strand for use in pretensioned and post-tensioned prestressed concrete construction. Grade 1725 250 and Grade 1860 270 have minimum ultimate strengths of 1725 MPa 250 ksi and 1860 MPa 270 ksi, re

4、spectively, based on the nominal area of the strand. 1.2. The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, the inch-pound units are shown in brackets. The values stated in each system are not exact equivalents; therefore, each syste

5、m must be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in nonconformance with the specification. 1.3. The supplementary requirements in S1 shall be specified for 15.24-mm- 0.600-in.- diameter uncoated seven-wire steel strand if needed for applications in prestres

All rights reserved. Duplication is a violation of applicable law.TS-4f M 203M/M 203-5 AASHTO 7.4. It shall be

32、 permitted to furnish, under this specification, specially dimensioned strands with nominal diameters up to 19 mm 0.750 in.

33、er requirements shall apply. 8. WORKMANSHIP, FINISH, AND APPEARANCE 8.1. Joints: 8.1.1. There shall be no strand joints or strand splices in any length of the finished strand unless specifically permitted by the purchaser. 8.1.2. During the process of manufacture of individual wires for stranding, w

34、elding shall be permitted only prior to or at the time of the last thermal treatment, for example, patenting or control cooling. There shall be no welds in the wire after it has been drawn through the first die in the wire drawing except as provided in Section 8.1.3. 8.1.3. During fabrication of the

35、 strand, butt-welded joints are permitted in the individual wires, provided there shall not be more than one such joint in any 45-m 150-ft section of the completed strand. 8.1.4. When specifically ordered as “Weldless,” a product free of welds shall be furnished. When “Weldless” is specified, the st

36、rand is produced as one continuous length with no welds as allowed by Section 8.1.3. 8.2. The finished strand shall be uniform in diameter and shall be free of imperfections. 8.3. When the strand is cut without seizings, the wire shall not fly out of position. If any wire flies out of position and c

37、an be replaced by hand, the strand will be considered satisfactory. 8.4. The strand shall not be oiled or greased. Slight rusting, provided it is not sufficient to cause pits visible to a person with normal or corrected vision, shall not be cause for rejection. Note 3Guidance for evaluating the degr

38、ee of rusting on prestressed concrete strand is presented in Sason.19. SAMPLING 9.1. Test specimens cut from either end of the reel or reelless pack are permitted. Any specimen found to contain a wire joint should be discarded and a new specimen obtained. 10. NUMBER OF TESTS 10.1. One specimen for t

39、est shall be taken from each 27-Mg 30-ton production lot of finished strand, and tested for breaking strength, yield strength, and elongation. 11. INSPECTION 11.1. If outside inspection is required, the manufacturer shall afford the inspector representing the purchaser all reasonable facilities to s

40、atisfy that the material is being furnished in accordance with this specification. All tests and inspections shall be made at the place of manufacture prior to shipment, unless otherwise agreed on at the time of purchase, and shall be so conducted as not to interfere unnecessarily with the manufactu

41、rers operations. 2018 by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials. All rights reserved. Duplication is a violation of applicable law.TS-4f M 203M/M 203-6 AASHTO 12. REJECTION 12.1. Failure of any test specimen to comply with the requirements of the specification shall c

42、onstitute grounds for rejection of the lot represented by the specimen. 12.2. The lot shall be resubmitted for inspection by testing a specimen from each reel or reelless pack and sorting out nonconforming material. 12.3. In case there is a reasonable doubt in the initial testing as to the ability o

43、f the strand to meet any requirement of this specification, two additional tests shall be made on a specimen of strand from the same reel or pack, and if failure occurs in either of these tests, the strand shall be rejected. 13. CERTIFICATION 13.1. If outside inspection is not required, a manufactur

44、ers certification that the material has been tested in accordance with and meets the requirements of this specification shall be the basis of acceptance of the material. The certification shall include the specification number, year of issue, and revision letter, if any. 13.2. The manufacturer shall

45、, when requested in the order, furnish a representative load-elongation curve for each size and grade of strand shipped. 13.3. When the modulus of elasticity of a seven-wire strand is provided, the cross-sectional area used to compute that modulus shall also be provided. The area provided in the cer

46、tification shall be the area used to calculate the modulus of elasticity. 13.4. A material test report, certificate of inspection, or similar document printed from or used in electronic form from an electronic data interchange (EDI) transmission shall be regarded as having the same validity as a cou

47、nterpart printed in the certifiers facility. The content of the EDI- transmitted document must meet the requirements of the invoked AASHTO standard(s) and conform to any existing EDI agreement between the purchaser and the supplier. Notwithstanding the absence of a signature, the organization submit

48、ting the EDI transmission is responsible for the content of the report. Note 4The industry definition as invoked here is: EDI is the computer-to-computer exchange of business information in a standard format such as ANSI ASC X12. 14. PACKAGING AND MARKING 14.1. The strand shall be furnished on reels or in reelless packs having a minimum core diameter of 610 mm 24 in. unless otherwise specified by the purchaser. Lengths on reels or in reelless packs shall be as agreed on at the time of purchase. The strand shall be well protected against mechanical injury in shipping as
