CAN3-G279.2-M84 (R1998) PDF Download

The CAN3-G279.2-M84 (R1998) standard specifies the requirements for uncoated non-stress-relieved indented wire in mill coils that are used for prestressed concrete tendons in railroad ties. The standard outlines the scope of its coverage, which includes the specific type of wire and its application in the construction of railroad ties.

The standard emphasizes that the wire must be uncoated and non-stress-relieved, indicating that it should not have any protective coatings or treatments that could affect its mechanical properties or performance. The indented surface of the wire provides increased bonding with the concrete, ensuring a secure connection between the wire and the concrete tie.

By establishing the requirements for the wire used in railroad tie construction, this standard aims to ensure the quality and reliability of prestressed concrete ties in railroad infrastructure. Compliance with this standard helps to guarantee the strength and durability of the ties, contributing to the overall safety and efficiency of railroad operations.
