... Experimental Research Approach and Findings -- Component Tests 83   repetitions, sufficient to establish a steady-state load-strain-dilation response. Typically, for a strand that has not been previously stressed, the initial stressing operation is a "shakedown" of sorts, and larger dilation ratios are obtained.

... Experimental Research Approach and Findings -- Component Tests 85   wires of a seven-wire strand will slip past each other, and thus each wire is bent individually; this permits a smaller diameter to be used without affecting the cracking of the wires. The length of the hook "tail," dimension A in Table 3.4 and Figure 3.4a, was 10 in.

... Experimental Research Approach and Findings -- Component Tests 89   (Table 3.5) ; thus, the splitting behavior observed is attributable to the nature of the LWC -- likely the relatively brittle nature of the LWC shale aggregate -- rather than to the cylinder-derived strength.

From page 93...
... Experimental Research Approach and Findings -- Component Tests 93   Figure 3.10 shows the hooked embedment strand tests following testing. The shear failure of H6-10 and H7-10 is evident as is the shear crack that developed before the splitting failure of H7-20.
