"We have implemented the world's first test of the TK-10 PC Strand on the formless molding line by manufacturing hollowcore slabs prestressed by TK10 and K7 ropes in a 50/50 ratio and testing the capacity of these slabs. The advantage of TK10 strands in comparison with K7 in adhesion to concrete was striking. With the destructive load and the slip of the K7 strands, the TK10 strands remained in place. The bearing capacity of the slabs increased by 15%, TK10 strands did not slip due to their design features, fully used their strength ...

"Together with the specialists of NIIZHB, we conducted tests of prestressed hollowcore floor slabs made by the method of formless molding. The test readings of floor slabs reinforced with TK-10 strands for anchoring in concrete clearly exceed the readings of slabs reinforced with K7 strands. This gives a number of economic advantages for the production of prestressed concrete..."

"We have conducted several series of tests of the new TK10 PC Strand in hollowcore slabs of formless molding. We reduced the amount of prestressing steel and the cement, used gravel instead of crushed granite rubble. All produced slabs have successfully passed the tests for rigidity, crack resistance and load capacity..."
