.Abutment - ANSWER-A structure for anchoring the reinforcing tendons in the
pretensioning of a concrete member.
.Anchor - ANSWER-A mechanical device for locking a stressed tendon in position
and delivering the prestressing force to the concrete, either permanently in a
posttensioned member or temporarily during hardening of a pretensioned
concrete member. Also called anchorage.
.Anchorage - ANSWER-Any of various means, as embedment length or hooked
bars for developing tension or compression in a reinforcing bar on each side of a
critical section on order to prevent bond failure or splitting.
.Balanced Section - ANSWER-A concrete section in which the tension
reinforcement theoretically reaches its specified yield strength as the concrete
in compression reaches its assumed ultimate strain.
.Beam-and-Girder-Slab - ANSWER-A one-way slab supported by secondary
beams which in turn are supported by primary beams or girders.
.Bent Bar - ANSWER-A longitudinal bar bent to an angle of 30° or more with the
axis of a concrete beam, perpendicular to and intersecting the cracking that
could occur from diagonal tension.
,.Bonded Post Tensioning - ANSWER-Post tensioning in which the reinforcing
tendons are bonded to the surrounding concrete by injecting grout into the
annular spaces around the strands.
.Bonding layer - ANSWER-A thin layer of mortar spread on a moistened and
prepared existing concrete surface prior to laying a new concrete slab.
.Bottom Bar - ANSWER-Any of the longitudinal bars serving as tension
reinforcement in the section of a concrete beam or slab subject to a positive
moment.
.Butt Splice - ANSWER-A splice for transferring tensile or compressive stresses
from one longitudinal bar to another, made by butting tensile ends together
and connecting them in a positive fashion.
.Casting Bed - ANSWER-A long horizontal slab on which a number of
pretensioned concrete members may be prestressed formed and cast
simultaneously.
.Column Capital - ANSWER-The head of a column support for a flat slab enlraged
to increase the plate area in shear.
.Column Strip - ANSWER-A panel strip occupying the adjacent a quarter panels
on both sides of a column centerline.
.Composite Column - ANSWER-A structural steel column thoroughly encased in
concrete reinforced with both vertical and spiral reinforcement.
, .Compound Column - ANSWER-A structural steel column encased on concrete at
least 2 1/2 in. (64mm) thick reinforced with wire mesh.
.Compression Reinforcement - ANSWER-Reinforcement designed to absorb
compression stresses.
.Compression Splice - ANSWER-A butt splice made by connecting the butted
ends of two reinforcing bars with a mechanical fastener, as a sleeve clamp.
.Concentric Tendon - ANSWER-A tendon having a straight trajectory coincident
with the centroidal axis of a prestressed concrete member. When tensioned,
the tendon produces a uniformly distributed compressive stress across the
section that counteracts the tensile stress from bending.
.Continuous Slab - ANSWER-A reinforced concrete slab extending as a structural
unit over three or more supports in a given direction. A continuous slab is
subject to lower bending moments than a series of discrete, simply supported
slabs.
.Cracked Section - ANSWER-A concrete section designed or analyzed on the
assumption that concrete has no resistance to tensile stresses.
.Cracking Load - ANSWER-A load that causes the tensile stress in a concrete
member to exceed the tensile strength of the concrete.
.Critical Section - ANSWER-The section of a flexural concrete member at a point
of maximum stress, a point of inflection, or a point within the span where
tension bars are no longer needed to resist stress.
