TERMINOLOGY
Disintegration
or
deterioration
of
concrete
or
reinforcement by electrolysis or by
chemical attack.
Final Prestress
The residual
prestress in the concrete after deduction
of all losses, such as those due to
shrinkage, creep, slip, friction and
elastic compression, from the initial
prestress.
Final Tension The tension in the steel
corresponding to the state of the final
prestress.
Formwork (Shuttering) Complete
system of temporary structure built to
contain fresh concrete so as to form it to
the required shape and dimensions and
to support it until it hardens sufficiently
to become self-supporting. Formwork
includes the surface in contact with the
concrete and all necessary supporting
structure.
Free Fall Descent of freshly mixed
concrete into forms without drop chutes
or other means of confinement; also the
distance through which such descent
occurs: also uncontrolled fall of
aggregate.
Live Load The temporary forces
applied to formwork by the weights of
men and construction equipment or the
service load due to railway loading or
roadway loading.
Loss of Prestress The reduction of
the prestressing force which results from
the combined effects of creep in the
steel and creep and shrinkage of the
concrete, including friction losses and
losses due to elastic deformation of the
concrete.
Membrane Curing A process that
involves either liquid sealing compound
(for example, bituminous and paraffinic
emulsions, coal tar cut backs,
pigmented and non-pigmented resin
The
differential
concentration of the components of
