Sentence examples for tension tie from inspiring English sources

The mechanical characteristics of the tension tie and of the compression strut depend on the stiffness and strength of the reinforcement in addition to the geometrical and mechanical parameters of the infilled frame.

In this assumption, the steel strips are acting as tension tie with small axial deformation (Campione 2012).

After the development of shear cracks in a beam provided with vertical stirrups, the concrete struts in the web shear element are subjected mainly to compression, the vertical stirrups act as vertical tension tie, and the longitudinal reinforcement acts as horizontal tension tie, thus forming a truss action to resist shear.

The proposed strut-and tie models assumes that the corbel resists the loads by compressive struts feeding directly into the column, and a tension tie is required to resist the out-of-balance forces at the loading point.

The stresses on the on nodes' vertical back face and node-to-strut interface are compared to nominal strengths due to crushing, assumed equal to ( V_{cv4} ; = ;0.85,f_{c}^{{prime }} ) and ( V_{cvs5} ; = ;0.68,f_{c}^{{prime }} ) for nodal zones bounded by compressive struts (node A) and nodal zones crossed by tension tie reinforcement in one direction (node B) respectively, refer to Fig. 1;   7.

There's dramatic tension, tied up in the mystery of whether Jamie's pic is of his arse or his belly.
