CONTINUOUS STRAND HOOP REINFORCEMENT FOR CONCRETE FOUNDATIONS

摘要

A post-tensioned continuous strand hoop reinforcement for concrete foundations is provided. The post-tensioned continuous strand hoop reinforcement compresses the concrete to prevent cracking and significantly reduces foundation deflection and distortion which increases rotational stiffness in anchor caps, spread foundations, and like foundation configurations.
