Cable-Stay Strand Residual Strength Related to Security Threats

APPENDIX C. Hardness Measurement Raw Data

Table 20 through table 30 report raw HV measurements on strand segments subjected to different temperatures for 30 min. Each column in the table reports nine individual measurements made within each wire as depicted in figure 70.
