4.7 Fundamentals of Prestressing Principle of Prestressing The function of prestressing is to place the concrete structure under compression in those regions where load causes tensile stress, therefore to reduce or eliminate cracking and produce durable concrete structures. Post-Tensioning Operation Tendons made up of strands are secured by steel wedges that grip each strand and seat firmly in a wedge plate锚垫板. The wedge plate itself carries all the strands and bears on a steel anchorage. Post-Tensioning Operation The anchorage may be a simple steel bearing plate or may be a special casting with two or three concentric bearing surfaces that transfer the tendon force to the concrete. Post-Tensioning Operation Bar tendons are usually threaded and anchored by means of spherical nuts that bear against a square or rectangular bearing plate cast into the concrete. Post-Tensioning Operation The duct or sheathing that houses the prestressing steel provides one layer of corrosion protection. Post-Tensioning Operation A tendon with a duct that contains multiple pieces of prestressing steel strand is commonly called a multistrand tendon 多绞线 , and a tendon in which a single prestressing steel strand is covered in a plastic sheathing is commonly referred to as a monostrand tendon单绞线 Post-Tensioning Operation Inside the duct or sheathing, the prestressing steel is covered in a protective coating that provides another level of corrosion protection. This coating can be a specially formulated type of grease, or it can be a specially designed type of grout. Post-Tensioning Operation When grease is used, the prestressing steel is permanently free to move relative to the sheathing and the tendon is referred to as an unbonded tendon无粘结预应力筋 The Prestressing Force is transferred to the Concrete through the anchorage ONLY When grout is used, the steel is permanently bonded to the sheathing and is referred to as a bonded tendon有粘结预应力筋. Pre-Tensioning In pre-tensioning system, the
