Dear Sir, Thanks for sharing these good stuff. With regards to your reply for spacing of tendons, tendons spacings will be 1 x 1/2" dia tendon spaced at 2.96 ft from grid A to F for 9 kips per foot and 1 x 1/2" dia tendon spaced at 4.43 ft from grid A to B & E to F for 6 kips per foot? from Israel Cuevas from Philippines
Great lecture, I have a question : It was calculated that we need 15 or 9 kips per foot, we know 1 tendon is 26.6 kips, so do we use different type of tendons or we stress the half inch tendon to less than 0.7 fpu ?
Hi Mohamed, The kips/ft is managed by the spacing of the tendons, not by the force in the tendons. In California we only use 1/2" diameter tendons and we always fully stress them. - Dirk Bondy
This was a great lecture indeed.
