Controlled forces

Description: “Summary: translated from the German. original title- kontrollierte kraefte- eine dokumentation der suspa . describes suspa’s post-tensioning method whereby high tensile steel wires are installed in the building unit, and stressed with hydraulic jacks, after the concrete has hardened to impart maximum load-bearing capacity. shows the suspa factory in the rhineland and the pre- fabrication of tendons. the quality control standards (elongation tests, ultimate tensile tests, fatigue tests), are also illustrated. this bbrv method is able to be used in all branches of civil engineering”
