Effect of the location of broken wire wraps on the failure pressure of prestressed concrete cylinder pipes
Published 2015“…The effect of the location of broken prestressing wire wraps on the overall strength of prestressed concrete cylinder pipes (PCCP) is investigated here. An advanced computational model based on non-linear finite element analysis is used to study three possible locations of broken wire wraps: at the spigot joint, at the bell joint and in the barrel of the pipe. …”
