peer agreement (net): -1(steel) rope extension Explanation: cordoalha: conjunto de cordas ou cabos; cordame http://www.aulete.com.br/cordoalha “Uma cordoalha de aço é um conjunto de fios de aço que se entrelaçam em forma de hélice e possuem um alto teor de carbono. Esta união de fios de aço resulta em um material altamente resistente e mais leve ao mesmo tempo. (...) O uso deste tipo de material é recomendado para concreto de protensão. O concreto de protensão é feito com cordoalhas de aço que foram submetidas a um esforço máximo para só então receberem o concreto que formará as estruturas. Este tratamento aumenta a resistência e ao mesmo tempo garante leveza arquitetônica.” - http://awacomercial.com.br/blog/o-que-e-cordoalha-de-aco/ protensão: ato de protender; extensão http://www.aulete.com.br/protensão protension: the act of stretching forth https://www.thefreedictionary.com/protension protensão de cordoalhas: rope extension; rope protension (?) Example shown under “belt tensioning device”: Extra charge for Kevlar or steel rope extension from 6.60 m to 8 m. http://www.hucktek.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Web-PDF_... And here’s one non-related example, listed under the description of a washing machine: “Steel rope extension 8 cm set of five-piece set extension of 12 cm set of five-piece set 3638 lengthening thickening one-piece sleeve (non-welding)” https://www.chinahao.com/product/561769456322/ Note: No examples were found with “rope protension”. |

prestressing tendons Explanation: Prestressing tendons (generally of high tensile steel cables or rods) are used to provide a clamping load, which produces a compressive stress to offset the tensile stress that the concrete compression member would otherwise experience due to a bending load. https://precast.org/precast-products/prestressed/#:~:text=Pr... The principle behind prestressed concrete is that compressive stresses induced by high-strength steel tendons in a concrete member before loads are ap https://www.cement.org/cement-concrete/products/prestressed-... https://www.google.com.br/search?newwindow=1&biw=1438&bih=64... |
