Effective cross sectional areas shown are as required by ASTM A 722-98. Actual areas may exceed these values.
ACI 355.1R section 3.2.5.1 indicates an ultimate strength in shear has a range of .6 to .7 of the ultimate tensile strength. Designers should provide adequate safety factors for safe shear strengths based on the condition of use.
Per PTI Recommendations for Prestressed Rock and Soil Anchors section 6.6, anchors should be designed so that:
- The design load is not more than 60% of the specified minimum tensile strength of the prestressing steel.
- The lock-off load should not exceed 70% of the specified minimum tensile strength of the prestressing steel.
- The maximum test load should not exceed 80% of the specified minimum tensile strength of the prestressing steel.
** The 3" diameter bar is not covered under ASTM A722.

Properties
Williams 150 KSI All-Thread-Bars are manufactured in strict compliance with ASTM A-722-98 and AASHTO M275 Highway Specifications. The prestressing steel is high in strength yet ductile enough to exceed the specified elongation and reduction of area requirement. Selected heats can also pass the 135° supplemental bend test when required. Testing has shown Williams 150 KSI All-Thread-Bars to meet or exceed post tensioning bar and rock anchoring criteria as set by the Post Tensioning Institute including dynamic test requirements beyond 500,000 cycles of loading.

Williams 360° continuous thread deformation pattern has the ideal relative rib area configuration to provide excellent bond strength capability to grout or concrete, far better than traditional reinforcing deformation patterns.
Threads
All-Thread-Bars are cold rolled to close tolerances under continuous monitoring procedures for quality control. Threads for Williams All-Thread Bar are specially designed with a rugged thread pitch wide enough to be fast under job site conditions and easy to assemble. They also have a smooth, wide, concentric, surface ideal for torque tensioning. This combination offers tremendous savings over inefficient hot rolled non-concentric thread-forms.

Williams All-Thread-Bars are threaded around the full circumference enabling the load transfer from the bar to the fasteners to occur efficiently without eccentric point loading. Williams fasteners easily meet the allowable load transfer limitations set forth by the Post Tensioning Institute (of the United States). Unlike competing hot rolled threaded bars and cast fasteners, Williams 150 KSI All-Thread-Bars and fasteners are machined to tight tolerances for superior performance and mechanical lock. Precision machining greatly reduces concern of fastener loosening or detensioning. 150 KSI All-Thread-Bars meet or exceed the deformation requirements under ASTM A-615 for concrete reinforcing bars.
Steel Quality
Williams 1", 1-1/4", and 1-3/8" 150 KSI All-Thread-Bars are hot-rolled, high strength steel. The bars are cold stressed and stress relieved to produce specific properties. All bars are produced to ASTM A-722-98 physical standards. The 1-3/4", 2-1/2" and 3" All-Thread-Bars are cold drawn through a series of tenisle and compressive stresses to produce a cold-stressed bar. They are then stressed relieved.

Thorough inspection and traceability are carried out during all phases of manufacturing to assure the highest standards of quality. Mill certifications and certificates of conformance can be provided with each shipment as an assurance that the mechanical properties of Williams All-Thread-Bar are as shown..
Welding
Williams 150 KSI All-Thread-Bar should not be subjected to the heat of a torch, welding or used as a ground. Field cutting should be done with an abrasive wheel or band saw.
Tensile Strength & Working Loads
Williams 150 KSI All-Thread-Bars are available with ultimate tensile strengths and working loads as displayed above. Safety factors and functional working loads are at the discretion of the project design engineer, however test loads should never exceed 80% of the published ultimate bar strength.
