Test results showed conclusively that shear cracking in the transfer length region across<br />

the bottom strands did not induce significant strand slip if stirrup density was doubled over the<br />

current AASHTO (1996) specified density in the region.<br />

There was no indication throughout this analysis that need existed to differentiate<br />

between slate HPLC and normal weight HPC. With regard to development length, <strong>for</strong> concrete<br />

compressive strengths over 8,000 psi, the prediction of development length was the same <strong>for</strong><br />

both lightweight and normal weight concrete.<br />
