compared to lower strength specimens. Kaar et al. also reported differences in transfer length<br />

A.8.4 Mattock, 1963<br />

In 1963, Mattock used Equation A.3 with an assumed average transfer bond stress of 400<br />

psi to derive the current ACI-319-99 equation <strong>for</strong> transfer length. The factors 0.725 and 4/3 were<br />

used to determine the actual area and perimeter respectively.<br />

Mattock assumed the effective stress, f se , <strong>for</strong> 250 ksi strand was 150 ksi and further simplified<br />

Equation A.5 to Equation A.6, which was adopted by ACI in 1963 and AASHTO 40 in 1973.<br />
