SPECIFIC CONDITIONS OF THE EUROPEAN TECHNICAL APPROVAL
B.1 DEFINITION OF PRODUCTS AND INTENDED USE B.1.1 Definition of Products The Freyssinet prestressing kit is a post-tensioning kit designed for both internal and external prestressing. A prestressing cable consists of a bundle of 7-wire strands in accordance with section G.1 and is referred to as the tensile element. When fitted with its anchorages, the prestressing tendon is referred to as the prestressing unit. The tensile element is housed in a duct in accordance with section G.2. In the case of unbonded internal prestressing, however, monostrands (strands with individual protection by grease or wax and plastic sheath) may be used without any duct, the strands being placed in the structure according to the design requirement. The set of anchorages available allows using prestressing units up to 55 strands. Prestressing strands can be made in accordance with European and national provisions. The prestressing tensile elements consist of: 12,5 mm or 12,9 mm nominal diameter strands, with a nominal tensile strength of 1770 MPa or 1860 MPa, coded respectively Y1770 (or Y1860) S7 12,5 (or 12,9) in prEN 10138-3 and designated T13, T13S or simply T13 in the present document, 15,3 mm or 15,7 mm nominal diameter strands, with a nominal tensile strength 1770 MPa or 1860 MPa, coded respectively Y1770 (or Y1860) S7 15,3 (or 15,7) in prEN 10138-3 and designated T15, T15S or simply T15 in the present document. Freyssinet stressing anchorages anchor each strand individually by means of a conical wedge inserted in a conical hole of anchorage block. The diameter of the internal thread of the Freyssinet anchor wedge depends on the strand nominal diameter, T13 or T15 (drawings 1 and 2). B.1.1.1 Stressing anchorages Anchorages are said to be the stressing type (and are coded A for active) when they are the anchorages at the end of tensile elements where the tensioning operation takes place. A stressing anchorage consists of an anchorage head, i.e. a steel block or a casting with holes to receive anchorage wedges. The anchorage head bears on a load spreading plate, except for models F and X where the load spreading plate is part of the anchorage block. This load spreading plate is: either a casting known as a trumplate, which is cast into the concrete of the structure, or a bearing plate of dimensions to suit the load-bearing capacity of the structure.
page 6/52
Different active anchorage models are available, to meet specific construction needs. Structural anchorages model C Prestressing anchorages model C are generally used for civil engineering prestressed structures. They consist of a circular steel anchor head bearing on a cast-iron trumplate with one or several intermediate spreading rings. They cover a range between 3 and 55 strands T13 or T15 (drawings 8 to 16). Slab anchorages model F Prestressing anchorages model F are generally used for prestressing thin elements (e.g. concrete floor slabs and walls) and consist of a one-piece casting which combines the anchorage block and the trumplate. It is available for prestressing units with 1, 3 or 4 strands T13 or T15 (drawings 20 to 24). Hoop anchorages model X The Freyssinet hoop anchorage consists of a casting bearing against the circular structure which serves as anchorage to the two ends of one or two hoops: The 1 X anchorage is used to make one prestressing hoop, with radius of up to 27,5 m (drawing 25), The 2 X anchorage is used to anchor two hoops, each wrapped once or twice around the structure, with radius of up to 5,5 m (drawing 26). B.1.1.2 External passive anchorages When anchorages are said external passive they will not allow fitting of a tensioning jack but are nevertheless accessible during the tensioning operation. This kind of anchorage is made out of stressing anchorages in which the wedges have been pre-blocked, without protruding tendon length for tensioning. They can be inspected during tensioning. The Freyssinet denomination for these types is identical to that of stressing anchorages. B.1.1.3 Fixed Couplers Couplers connect two tensile elements that are tensioned one after the other in two separate concreting phases Coupler CI It consists of individual type P strand connectors (see paragraph B.1.1.4 below) connecting each strand of the primary tendon to its counterpart in the secondary tendon (drawing 17). It is used for prestressing units with 1 to 37 strands T13 or T15. The reinforcement in the deviation zone has to be calculated by the designer. B.1.1.4 Movable couplers CM Movable couplers CM connect two tensile elements which are tensioned simultaneously in a single operation. Strands are connected together with a type P individual strand connector; strand connector positions are offset in the case of multistrand units. The connector consists of a cast-iron body to receive two anchorage wedges and serves to connect two sections of a tensile element. Two models are available: strand connector P 13 is used with T13 and T13S strands (drawing 6), page 7/52
strand connector P 15 is used with T15 and T15S strands (drawing 7). Movable couplers are used for prestressing units with 1 to 37 strands T13 or T15 (drawing 18). The length of the coupler resevation is obtained by the formula L = M + U, where U is the connector displacement including provision for stressing tolerance according to national regulations and M is a fixed dimension depending on the tendon type including necessary installation tolerance given in the table of relevant drawings.

B.1.1.6 Other Components Prestressing units of Freyssinet kit require different components, some of them being common to several models. -Ducts, used to isolate, guide and protect tensile elements (see section G.2). Connecting accessories may be improved by plastic adhesives, heat-shrink sleeves or mastic. Injection materials for anchorages and ducts, such as cement grout, grease and wax. Tubes or specific elements for deviation of external cables at given locations in the structure. These deviators are generally made out of steel plain pipes. The specific page 8/52
elements may include reservations inside the concrete reinforcement or construction steel saddles to obtain the cable deviator. Bursting steel reinforcement, for the concrete confinement at anchorages and deviators, to complete the general structural reinforcement and ensure prestressing force transfer. Specific accessories to facilitate cable placing and stressing, tendon grouting, detensioning and replacement of tendon, such as vents, duct drainage, tendon supports, temporary and permanent protection caps of anchorages and couplers, coupling elements between duct sections and for duct connection to anchorages.
Following components are covered by national or European provisions: - prestressing steels, - steel corrugated sheath, - steel or plastic pipes or tubes, - grouting products, - bursting reinforcing steel. For this reason, these components are not described in this ETA. However, they can be used for the prestressing kit. B.1.2 Intended Use The prestressing kit described in this ETA can be used for new structures, for repair and reinforcement of existing structures with following basic categories of use: Internal bonded tendon for concrete and composite system Internal unbonded tendon for concrete and composite system External tendon for concrete structures with a tendon path situated outside the crosssection of the structure but inside its envelope. The prestressing kit described in this ETA offers additionally optional categories of use for which standard tendon characteristics are improved. These options are as follows: 1. restressable tendon (external or internal), 2. exchangeable tendon (external or internal), 3. tendon for cryogenic applications, 4. internal bonded tendon with plastic ducts, 5. encapsulated tendon, 6. electrically isolated tendon, 7. tendon for use in structural steel or composite construction as external tendon, 8. tendon for use in structural masonry construction as internal and/or external tendon, 9. tendon for use in structural timber construction as internal and/or external tendon. PT-anchorage zones have to be designed to resist 1,1 Fpk according to the relevant Eurocode in case of use with other materials than concrete. The prestressing kit described in this ETA can be used in any type of structure and is used more frequently in: bridges (superstructures, piers, abutments, foundations), buildings (floors, foundations, core walls, walls, columns, shear walls, lateral load resisting frames, foundations), reservoirs (walls, slabs, roofs),

B.4 ASSUMPTIONS UNDER WHICH THE FITNESS OF THE PRODUCTS FOR THE
INTENDED USE WAS ASSESSED

The ETA is issued under the following assumptions: B.4.1 Manufacture of Product The ETA is issued for the Freyssinet post-tensioning kit on basis of information and documents submitted by Freyssinet to Stra, with identification of product tested and assessed. Any modification of characteristics of product or factory production process which might modify the conformity of the kit shall be notified to the Stra prior to its application. The Stra will decide if this modification affects the ETA and if a more detailled assessment or amendment of ETA are required. A Quality Assurance Plan related to the prestressing kit ETA is established and regularly updated by Freyssinet ; it is made available to the Stra. A list of sub-contractors and component suppliers is part of this Quality Assurance Plan. Freyssinet is committed to impose the requirements of the present ETA and ETAG 013 upon the producer of his prestressing kit, as well as upon his subcontractors and suppliers. B.4.2 Installation Design and Execution B.4.2.1 Design of Structures The Freyssinet prestressing kit is fit for use in structures designed properly. The designer of the structure is assumed to respect specifications set by applicable standards, e.g. Eurocodes or equivalent applicable national standards, and to adapt his design in accordance with the construction methods foreseen and the instructions of the ETA holder.

B.5 INDICATIONS TO THE MANUFACTURER B.5.1 Packaging, transport and storage It is recommended to apply a temporary protection to prestressing steels and steel components of the kit to prevent corrosion during transport from production factory to the site. Transport and handling of prestressing steel and steel components of the kit shall be done in such a manner as to avoid any mechanical, chemical or physical damage. Prestressing steels and steel components shall be stored free from humidity. Plastic components and ducts shall be protected from UV radiation. Prestressing steels and steel components shall be protected or kept away from welding areas. B.5.2 Recommendations for safety The specialist company shall establish a Unique Document in conformity with the Guidance Directive 89/391/CEE dated 1989.06.12, identifying and analysing recurring risks bound to installation of prestressing. The technician in charge of the prestressing works shall modify this Unique Document to account for the particular and not recurring risks of his working site. During stressing, standing behind or immediatly close to a jack is strictly forbidden, as well as behind a passive anchorage while stressing at the other end. Wherever necessary, safety rails shall be installed and passing zones for personnel shall be kept free. B.5.3 Use, maintenance and repair Durability of prestressed structures requires an adequate periodic inspection. Since any disorder in the structure may result in damage of PT tendons, a specialist company should repair as soon as possible according to adequate procedures.

PRESTRESSING UNITS AND USE CATEGORIES
E.1 UNITS CODING Prestressing anchorages are coded as follows: TY n M d PR where: the first letters TY indicate the anchorage type (function): A: active* internal-prestressing anchorage (*stressing anchorage) AD: active* replaceable external-prestressing anchorage (*stressing anchorage) NB: embedded anchorage with trumplate CI: coupler with individual connectors CM: movable coupler letter n indicates the number of strands in a tensile element; letters M indicate the model of the stressing anchorage (component): C: structural prestressing F: slab prestressing (one-piece anchorage) X: hoop anchorage number d indicates the strand diameter category: 13: T13 and T13S strands 15: T15 and T15S strands letters PR indicate the level of anticorrosion protection: PE: with plastic sheath (generally polyethylene) GI: with sliding individually greased/waxed and sheathed strand EI: with electrical isolation W: with flexible corrosion-inhibiting product injected (generally wax).
E.2 USE CATEGORIES E.2.1 Bonded Internal Prestressing for Concrete Structures Internal prestressing units bonded to the concrete consist of bare strands in a thin-wall corrugated duct made of steel (see G.2.1), plastic (see G.2.2) or smooth steel pipes (see G.2.3) and injected with a cement grout in accordance with EN 447 or Annex C4 of ETAG013. E.2.2 Unbonded Internal Prestressing for Concrete Structures Unbonded internal prestressing tendons consist of one of the following types: W units: tensile elements housed in a steel or plastic duct injected with a soft filling material, GI units: tensile elements made of monostrands. Outside the anchorage zones, monostrands are either placed in a round or flat duct injected with cement grout prior to tensioning or installed directly in the structure, in accordance with design requirements. 20/52
Unbonded internal prestressing tendons allow re-stressing and the steel part of tensile elements is replaceable. A n C 15 W anchorages can be used to make electrically isolated prestressing tendons if the measures described in paragraph E.2.4 have been taken. E.2.3 External Prestressing for Concrete Structures Other than in exceptional circumstances, external prestressing tendons are replaceable and restressable, and are one of the following types: Standard type: with double tube where the tendon passes through the concrete of the structure, to ensure the independence of the tensile element and its duct from the structure and to enable extraction. The duct is injected with cement grout. Type W: with a duct injected with a flexible corrosion-inhibiting product enabling the tensile element to be extracted. Type GI: with monostrands housed in a general duct injected or not with cement grout before tensioning. AD n C 15 anchorages can be used to make electrically isolated prestressing tendons if the measures described in paragraph E.2.4 have been taken. E.2.3.1 Standard Tendons Tensile elements are housed in a continuous HDPE plain tube. At anchorages the trumplates are fitted with a plastic trumpet welded to the tube. A watertight gasket between the two parts allows dismantling. Where tendons pass through concrete a double casing is realised by means of a second tube used as a concrete formwork which ensures the independence of the HDPE tube from the concrete. The corresponding anchorages are coded AD n C 15. E.2.3.2 GI Tendons Tensile elements consist of monostrands grouped together in a plastic duct, injected or not with cement grout prior to tensioning. The anchorage head is protected by a permanent cap filled either with a soft corrosion protection material fully compatible with that of monostrands or injected with cement grout. The corresponding anchorages are coded AD n C 15 GI. E.2.3.3 W Tendons Tensile elements are housed in a continuous HDPE plain tube. At the anchorages, the trumplates are fitted with a plastic trumpet welded to the tube. A watertight gasket between the two parts allows dismantling. Double tubing is not necessary to ensure dismantling. After tensioning, the tendon is injected with a soft corrosion protection material, such as a microcristaline petroleum wax. The anchorage head is protected by a permanent cap which allows the injection of the tendon. 21/52
The corresponding anchorages are coded AD n C 15 W. E.2.3.4 Non-Replaceable External Prestressing Tendons In this exceptional case, external prestressing tendons consist of anchorages identical to those used for bonded internal prestressing tendons. Thin-wall corrugated ducts are prohibited in all exposed sections of tendon. Steel tubes may be used for sections embedded in concrete. The corresponding anchorages are coded A n C 15. E.2.4 Common Application Options Model C internal prestressing anchorages can be used to make prestressing tendons for cryogenic applications. Freyssinet prestressing anchorages can be used to make prestressing tendons with a watertight casing when used with a watertight plastic duct, a permanent cap to cover the anchorage head and watertight connections between each section of the casing. Model C anchorages can be used to make electrically isolated prestressing tendons (drawing 16). These tendons consist then of strands housed in an electrically isolating plastic casing comprising in particular: a plastic trumpet fitted inside the trumplate, a bearing plate made out of an electrically isolating composite material placed under the anchor block, a plastic cap.

E.2.5 External Prestressing for Steel Structures and Composite Structures Model F and C anchorages are used in the case of steel structures, without the standard loadspreading component (trumplate) which is replaced by a bearing plate of a size in accordance with the strength of the steel of the structure (see EN 1993 and EN 1994). E.2.6 Prestressing for Masonry Structures Model F and C anchorages are used in the case of masonry structures, without the standard load-spreading component (trumplate) which is replaced by a bearing plate of a size in accordance with the strength of the masonry of the structure (see EN 1996). E.2.7 Prestressing for Timber Structures Model F (one strand only) and C anchorages are used in the case of timber structures, without the standard load-spreading component (trumplate) which is replaced by a bearing plate of a size in accordance with the strength of the timber of the structure (see EN 1995). 1 F anchorages can be used for timber structures if adequately embedded by means of epoxy resin.
23/52
E.3 PARTICULARITIES OF THE KIT
E.3.1 Possibility of individual tensioning strand by strand In the case of stressing anchorages for units comprising monostrands, the strands may be tensioned either collectively with a multistrand jack, or individually with a monostrand jack, proceeding in several loading stages, if cement grouted before tensioning. E.3.2 Measurement of friction coefficient and load transfer percentage from stressing end to the other This operation is possible whenever tensioning from both ends is possible. E.3.3 Adjustment of prestressing load In the case of prestressing tendons with monostrands (type GI) or injected with a flexible filling product (type W), it is possible to adjust the prestressing load at any time during service life if tendon overlengths have been maintainted. The overlengths are protected by an adequately long protection cap. E.3.4 Possibility of monitoring prestressing load When an A n C15(or C13) or AD n C15(or C13) anchorage uses a threaded block, the load in the tensile element can be monitored with a special ring jack installed between the anchor block threaded ring and the anchorage trumplate. E.3.5 Possibility of detensioning A non-grouted tendon can be detensioned with a monostrand jack and a detensioning stool if the strand overlengths have not been cut off. If the strands have been cut off, the tendon can only be detensioned by heating the wedges with a blow torch, one by one. Special precautions must be taken at the other end to contain any strand expulsion within special protective systems. E.3.6 Possibility of re-threading a new tendon after detensioning Once detensioning has been performed as described in paragraph 3.5, and on condition that both ends can be easily accessed, a tendon can be replaced without demolishing. In the case of tendons with type CI couplers, this operation is possible only for the primary part of the tendon, before concreting of the secondary part. When the prestressing tendon consists of monostrands, each strand can be replaced by a strand of the same sectional area if the alignment of the tensile element is straight or slightly deviated, and by a strand of smaller sectional area in other cases. When a new strand is threaded in, a protective product of the same quality as that of the strand replaced must be introduced into the individual sheath left in place.
24/52
E.3.7 Prestressing tendon allowing for load monitoring, retensioning, and replacement without damage to the duct An unbonded prestressing tendon is fitted with a model C anchorage with standard wedges extended by a clamping length mounted on a common retaining plate (drawing 1). The entire tendon is retensioned after pulling on the overlength and inserting a special bearing ring adapted to the jack. Detensioning is made possible by the wedge-retaining plate which prevents wedge assemblies being pulled back into the anchorage when the tendon is detensioned. Strand overlengths are retained (jack gripping length plus any elongation) and are protected by a special long cap injected with flexible filling material (drawing 33). E.3.8 Temporary or permanent caps Caps can be fitted to anchorage types A, AD and NB. E.3.9 Equitension In the case of a prestressing unit with model C anchorages, when it is to be ensured that the initial length of each strand is the same prior to tensioning, a pre-tensioning operation can be carried out with the equitension jack. It has as many tensioning chambers as there are strands to be tensioned, and takes up any slack in the strands individually. E.4 FORCES OF PRESTRESSING TENDONS Maximum forces beneath the anchorage during tensioning, F0, must be taken from standards or regulations in place of use. Values shown in the following table, comply French regulations which are identical to the values recommended by Eurocode2. The number of strands in a tendon may be decreased either by reducing the number of drilled holes in the anchor block (special order to factory) or by leaving out strands in the anchorages or couplers. In both cases the strands are placed in the best possible symmetrical manner. The provisions for tendons with completely filled anchorages and couplers also apply to partially filled ones.

ANCHORAGES
Freyssinet active anchorages are based on the wedge principle and use the Freyssinet Cwedge. Each wedge is anchored in a conical hole of the anchor head, which is either a steel block for anchorage models C, or a cast iron part for strand couplers and for anchorage models F and X. Depending on situations, the anchorage block seats on a cast iron load spreading part, called trumplate, or on a steel plate for structures other than concrete ones, the dimensions of which depend of the strength of the structure. F.1 DESCRIPTION OF ANCHORAGE COMPONENTS Main dimensions are given on the drawings in Annex K. F.1.1 Anchorage Wedge The Freyssinet anchor wedge is a conical one-use wedge, consisting of three matching wedges held together by a circlip. Two models of wedges are available: - the C13 wedge used with T13 and T13S strands, - the C15 wedge used with T15 and T15S strands. Its internal diametre is adapted to the strand diameter class: either T15/T15S (C15 wedge), or T13/T13S (C13 wedge). Anchorage wedges are precision machined from hot-rolled or cold-drawn rods of cement steel defined by reference to standard EN 10084 and are case hardened. The steel grade is 16MnCr5. F.1.2 Anchorage Swage Internal fixed anchorages are made with anchor swages made by swaging a tubular section enclosing a spiral spring onto each strand using a special Freyssinet jack. There are two standard versions and a compact version: T13D swage is used with T13 and T13S strands T15D swage is used with T15 and T15S strands T15DC compact swage is used with T15 and T15S strands.
Swages are turned from hot-rolled bars of tempered and quenched structural alloy steel defined in reference to standard EN 10083-1. The used grades are 34CrMo4 and 36CrNiMo4. F.1.3 Steel Anchor Blocks F.1.3.1 Model C Anchor Blocks Model C anchorage heads are circular steel blocks with conical holes cut out of hot-rolled bars. These anchorage blocks have a strength class determined by the nominal ultimate tensile strength 650 MPa.
27/52
It is made from a non-alloy quenched and tempered structural steel, defined by reference to standard EN 10083-1 (C45). Note 1: electrically isolated anchorages may be made with blocks of larger dimensions than the standard blocks in order to reduce compressive stress on the electrical isolation plate . Note 2: blocks for type NB embedded anchorages are made with cylindrical holes. Note 3: when an external thread is necessary for monitoring prestressing load, the anchor block shall have a larger diameter in order to cut the thread outside the original anchor block size.
F.1.4 Castings for Anchorages F.1.4.1 Model F and X Anchorages The bodies of model F and X anchorages are made of spheroidal graphite cast iron defined by reference to standard EN 1563. The grade is EN-GJS-500-7. F.1.4.2 Individual strand connectors type P The body of the type P strand connector is made of bainitic spheroidal graphite cast iron defined by reference to standard EN 1564. The grade is EN-GJS-1000-5. F.1.4.3 Load Spreading Parts or Trumplates The trumplates of type NB n C15 (or C13), CI n C15 (or C13) and C n C15 (or C13) anchorages are identical to those of type A n C15 anchorages. Trumplates of type AD n C15 (or C13) differ from those of type A n C15 (or C13) anchorages only in their internal shape which allows for placement of a plastic trumpet and a seal. Trumplates are castings of: - grey cast iron defined in reference to standard EN 1561, for C Models up to size 13C15; the grade is EN-GJL-250; or - spheroidal graphite cast iron defined in reference to standard EN 1563 above size 13C15; grade is EN-GJS-500-7. F.1.4.4 Model C Anchorage Caps Anchorage caps are generally castings of: - grey cast iron defined in reference to standard EN 1561; the most commonly used grade is EN-GJL-250; or - spheroidal graphite cast iron defined in reference to standard EN 1563; the most commonly used grade is EN-GJS-400-15. F.1.5 Conditioning and Temporary Corrosion Protection Except for anchorage wedges, all uncoated components are packaged in sealed containers, are rust-free and slightly oiled.
28/52
Anchorage wedges are packaged in white buckets. They are suitably protected against oxidation. The buckets containing type C15 wedges are colour-coded differently to those of type C13 wedges. Optionally, the following reinforced corrosion protection is available: - the anchor blocks of model C and M anchorages may be corrosion protected by bichromate and zinc treatment in accordance with standard EN 12329, except for the wedge housings; - the cast-iron anchorage components of model F and X anchorages and the trumplates of model C anchorages may be zinc coated to a thickness of at least 70 m by the hot-dip process in accordance with standard EN ISO 1461, except for the wedge housings; - the cast-iron anchorage component of the model X anchorage may be coated with polyamide, except for the wedge housings. F.1.6 Characteristics of Plastic Parts F.1.6.1 Plastic Trumpets Type AD n C15 (or C13) external-prestressing anchorages are fitted with polyethylene (PE) trumplates. F.1.6.2 Electrical Isolation Plates Electrically isolated anchorages are fitted with an electrical isolation plate between the anchorage block and the trumplate. The plate is generally a glass-reinforced thermosetting resin. F.1.6.3 Plastic Caps Plastics caps are made from polyolefin. F.2 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE OF ANCHORAGES Regulations valid at place of use shall be considered. Bursting steel is fixed to general reinforcing bars at locations given in this ETA. Tightness at connection between anchorage and duct if realised either by adhesive tape or heat-shrink sleeves. For F anchorage models used with monostrands the sealing between anchorage and monostrands is realised by means of a mastic plug.
F.2.1 Stressing Anchorages Size of anchorage reservation and clearance for placing the stressing jack should be checked at the design stage (see drawings 34 to 44).
29/52
F.2.2 Model X Anchorages Loop tendons are stressed simultaneously at both ends by means of single-strand jacks (see drawings 45 and 46). F.2.3 Anchorages for External Prestressing Exchangeable external prestressing tendons injected with cement grout are realised by means of a double duct at deviation or anchoring points : A minimum gap of 10mm between the two ducts is required. External shuttering tube, generally out of steel, Tendon duct, continuous between anchorages (see drawing 14) F.2.4 Embedded Fixed Anchorages Model NB Model NB n C 15 anchorages consist of an anchor block with cylindrical holes and swages. Type T13D swage is used for T13 and T13S strands, and type T15DC for T15 and T15S strands. Swages are realised before concreting and maintained in position with a locking template. F.2.5 Fixed Couplers The prestressing force of the secondary tendon at the coupler shall not exceed that of the primary cable. F.2.5.1 Multi-Strand Couplers Model CI with Type P Strand connectors The secondary cable is connected to the primary cable by means of type P strand connectors. The complete assembly is covered with an overall cap : At one end the cap is fixed to the primary trumplate. A flexible seal provides watertightness during concreting and grouting and eliminates possible effort transfer through the cap during tensioning of the coupled secondary tendon. At the other end the cap is formed as a trumpet to allow its connection to the second phase cable duct. . F.2.6 Movable Couplers Model CM with Type P Strand connectors Each strand of the primary cable is connected to the corresponding srand of the secondary cable by means of a type P strand connector. The complet assembly is covered with a cap ensuring the same functions as the one for fixed couplers. This cap must allow for the elongation of first phase cable and the resulting displacement of strand connectors. In practice, the cap length is therefore adapted to each case. F.2.7 Case of Monostrands When directly embedded in the concrete structure, without overall duct, monostrands are fixed on supports arranged within the general steel reinforcement. In case of large cable units
30/52
exceeding 6 monostrands, monostrands should be arranged in groups of 3, the distance between each of them being sufficient to allow a correct concreting (see drawing 13). When monostrands are placed in a general duct (see drawings 10 to 12), the duct is injected with cement grout and tensioning is done after the grout has reached a strength of 10 MPa. When multi-strand anchorages are used, the precise arrangement of strands in the anchor zone during concreting or injection of duct is secured by the use of a temporary stuffing box (drawing 32). After removal of the stuffing box, ends of strands are freed from their sheath to receive the anchor block, to be stressed and injected by grease under pressure. F.2.8 Electrically Isolated Tendons The envelope of electrically isolated tendons consists of plastic ducts with thermo-shrink PE connections. In particular multi-strand fixed couplers type CI n C 15 EI and movable couplers type CM n C 15 EI are isolated in a PE or PP cap. An isolating plate is inserted between the trumplate and the anchor block before stressing.

G G.1 TENSILE ELEMENTS
TENSILE ELEMENTS AND DUCTS
In absence of European standards on prestressing steel, strands complying with national provisions and with characteristics given in G.1.1 and table 6 shall be used. G.1.1 Standard Designation of Strands Tensile elements consist of: Either strands with nominal diametre 12,5 mm or 12,9 mm, tensile strength 1770 MPa or 1860 MPa, designated respectively Y1770 (or Y1860) S7 12,5 (or 12,9) in the European standard prEN 10138-3, and hereafter named T13 or T13S or more simply T13, or strands with nominal diametre 15,2 mm or 15,7 mm, tensile strength 1770 MPa or 1860 MPa, designated respectively Y1770 (or Y1860) S7 15,2 (or 15,7) in the European standard prEN 10138-3, and hereafter named T15 or T15S or more simply T15. These strands may also be ordered according to national standards applicable in the country concerned, e.g in France to XPA 35-045-3 standard for bare strands. Monostrands are covered in France by the XP A 35-037 standard, and designated by S 12,5 (or 12,9 or 15,2 or 15,7) 1770 (or 1820 or 1860) A + (Z or ZA) + G + P. The G attribute means protection with grease and P means sliding, i.e. the strand is free to slide in its individual sheath, even embedded in concrete, allowing for its stressing without any bond to the concrete of the structure. G.1.2 Maximum Force in Strand The maximum stressing force F0 at anchorage indicated in the following table for a single strand has been calculated in accordance with Eurocode 2. It must be adapted to the applicable national regulations.

G.2 DUCTS The Freyssinet prestressing kit for post-tensioning may be used with different types of duct depending the project and the use categories of tendons. The typical internal diametre of ducts is defined on the drawings in Annex K for each anchorage model, which may be increased if required by the project specifications or the national regulations. In the case of prefabricated cables threaded in one operation, the duct internal diametre may be increased in sections with large deviation curvature to facilitate threading. G.2.1 Steel Strip Sheaths Steel strip sheaths are either circular or oval, generally corrugated to ensure a mechanical bond with the concrete. The overall external dimensions of steel strip sheaths are about 6 mm larger than the internal dimensions because of corrugation. This must be taken into account in the design. Steel strip sheaths are made from cold-formed (if corrugated) steel strip wound helically and welded along the edges or locked together by crimping.
33/52
G.2.1.1 Circular Steel Strip Sheaths Sheaths are purchased according to prEN 523 standard. There are two categories of sheath: normal or reelable category 1 sheath and rigid category 2 sheath. Rigid sheath reduces the wobble effect and is stronger, but is less easy to shape (curve) by hand. Diametre 25-35 35-45 45-55 55-65 65-75 75-85 (mm) min.

Table 7. Thickness of Steel Strip Sheaths
Sheath sections are connected together with helical sleeves screwed onto the ends of the sheaths. The watertightness at connections is obtained by adhesive tape or heat-shrink sleeves. G.2.1.2 Oval Steel Strip Sheaths Model F tendons are generally used together with oval or so-called flat sheaths. These are oblong sheaths with a stiffening corrugation. Lengths of duct are connected by use of sleeves of the same shape. The watertightness at connections is obtained by adhesive tape or heatshrink sleeves. G.2.1.3 Option: Galvanisation On request and if allowed by the applicable national regulations, the sheaths may be hot-dip galvanised or zinc-plated. G.2.1.4 Option: Factory-applied LFC Lubrication (Low Friction Coefficient) On request, crimped sheaths may be made out of soap-lined phosphated steel strip in order to reduce the friction coefficient between strands and duct during tensioning. G.2.2 Corrugated Plastic Ducts Plastics ducts may be of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or polypropylene (PP). They conform Appendix C.3 of ETAG 013 and meet the requirements of fib technical bulletin Corrugated plastic ducts for internal bonded post-tensioning. The ducts may be circular or flat, but are always corrugated to ensure a bond with the concrete. The overall outer dimensions of a corrugated plastic duct are about 13 mm larger than its internal dimensions because of corrugation. This must be taken into account in the design. Plastics ducts are sensitive to wear induced by movement of the strands in the duct during tensioning. Duct thickness is selected in accordance with the severity of the tendon alignment (total length and radii of curvature). Special precautions must be taken if the temperature of the surrounding concrete is likely to exceed 60C during setting or if the external pressure is likely to exceed 0,5 bar.
34/52
G.2.2.1 Plyduct The Plyduct sheath is circular, made out of a polyethylene strip. It is 2,5 mm thick for duct diameters up to 95 mm and 3,0 mm thick for larger diameters. Sheath sections are connected by a sleeve of the same design as the basic sheath screwed onto the sections to be joined together. Watertightness at connections is obtained by heat-shrink sleeves coated on the inside with a hot-melt resin which are shrunk onto the sheath with a hot-air blower. The dimensions of the heat-shrink sleeves are chosen so as to have a residual thickness of at least 1,5 mm after shrinking. G.2.2.2 Flat Ducts Model F tendons can be used with flat plastic sheaths of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or polypropylene (PP). Duct sections are connected by a sleeve of the same design as the basic sheath placed onto the sections to be joined together. Watertightness at connections is obtained by heat-shrink sleeves coated on the inside with a hot-melt resin which are shrunk onto the sheath with a hot-air blower. The dimensions of the heat-shrink sleeves are chosen so as to have a residual thickness of at least 1,5 mm after shrinking. G.2.3 Smooth Steel Pipes The steel pipes used as prestressing ducts are generally chosen in compliance with one of the following standards: EN 10305-3 (welded cold-sized tubes), EN 10216-1 (seamless tubes), EN 10217-1 (welded steel tubes) or prEN 10219 (fine-grain steel pipe). Pipes can be zinc-coated by hot-dip galvanising in accordance with standard EN ISO 1461, if allowed by the applicable national regulations. G.2.4 Smooth Plastic Pipes G.2.4.1 Pipes for External Prestressing Pipes for external prestressing are made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and purchased in reference to standards EN 12201-1 and 2, without consideration of properties affecting water quality. The polyethylene used is PE80 or PE100. Nominal pressure class (table 2 of standard EN 12201-2) is chosen as follows: Class PN4.0 at least, for injection prior to tensioning of monostrands, Class PN6.3 at least, for injection at ambient temperature, Class PN10 at least, for injection at temperatures exceeding 60C (wax injection). For guidance, pipes may be chosen from the following table:

Ducts for external prestressing are delivered in straight lengths. The most common lengths are 6 and 12 m. Lengths of pipe are connected by mirror welding or by means of polyethylene sleeves electro-welded. G.2.4.2 Indented Pipes for Hoop Tendon Anchorages Hoop prestressing tendons are used with continuous polyethylene or polypropylene pipes, generally extruded and supplied on reels. These pipes are smooth or indented for centering the strand in its duct. G.2.5 Liaseal Duct Connector The Liaseal duct connector is a polyolefin component providing a sealed connection between lengths of duct that is used in the construction of precast concrete segments for bridge construction (drawing 27). Used in conjunction with the Plyduct duct, the Liaseal connector makes a continuous, leakfree plastic duct crossing the match-cast joints between segments.

G.3 CABLE LAY-OUT G.3.1 Alignment at Anchorage Close to anchorages the duct must guide the tensile element so that its strands bear against the deviation zone of the trumplate and enter the holes in the anchorage head at the correct angle: in practice the cable lay-out must be straight on a length of at least 6 times the duct internal diametre, between the trumplate end and the start of the curved section. G.3.2 Curvature Radii G.3.2.1 Internal Prestressing In the absence of more restrictive national specifications, the minimum curvature radius is defined as follows: Stand Type Flat duct Bare Strand Circular duct Tube Strands directly incorporated in concrete (in group of three strands maximum) or placed in a duct injected with cement grout before tensioning Single strand

In the case of bonded prestressing, the minimum radius of steel tubes can be reduced down to 20 times the internal diameter, assuming that: - the resulting radius is not less than 1,1 m for T13 strands and 1,3 m for T15 strands, - the tensile stress does not exceed 70% of strand guaranteed tensile strength where the radius is less than 3,0 m, - the sum of angular deviations along the cable is less than 3/2 radians, - the sharply curved zone is considered as a dead anchorage if the angular deviation exceeds /2 radians.

G.3.2.2 Removable External Prestressing In the absence of more restrictive national specifications, the minimum curvature radius in deviators and at anchorages, normally made out of curved steel pipes, is defined as follows: Tendon 7C15 12C15 19C15 27C15 Minimum Minimum Curvature Radius Curvature Radius at anchorages in deviators 3,0 m 2,0 m 3,5 m* 4,0 m* 4,5 m 2,5 m* 3,0 m* 3,5 m 4,0 m
37C15 5,0 m* * : according to ENV 1992-1-5:1994
Table 10. Minimum Curvature Radius for External Prestressing
G.3.3 Support Distances and Tolerances The maximum distance between duct supports is 1,0 m for straight sections or with high curvature radius and 0,5 m for sections with small radius. In the case of smooth steel pipes, at least one support at each elementary length but the distance shall not exceed 3 m. Any axial thrust along the pipe must be balanced by appropriate arrangements at the bottom of the formwork. Similarly, the spacing of supports and the attachment of the duct must take account of the buoyancy effect in fresh concrete. Flat ducts are more sensitive to accidental crushing before tendon threading than circular ducts. For this reason the tendons should be threaded into the duct before concreting. If it is not possible to thread the tendons before concreting, measures must be taken to protect the duct from crushing, or the ducts must be threaded with temporary dummy strands which will be removed before the real tendons are threaded. When ducts cross over each other in layers, contact between ducts should be avoided, and it may be advisable to strengthen the area of intersection with a half-sleeve in order to prevent any risk of communication between ducts during cement grouting. In the case of corrugated plastic sheaths, a plastic half-shell must be placed between the duct and its support in all areas where tendon is deviated. For monostrands directly incorporated in concrete, sheath punching at support must be checked. The tolerance on the position of tendons in concrete parts must meet the requirements of draft standard ENV 13670-1. Special attention must be given to tendon breakout induced by deviated cables near an outside surface: the local positioning tolerance will have to be determined in accordance with the lay-out of the passive reinforcement.

TENSIONING
H.1 TENSIONING EQUIPMENT Freyssinet equipment is covered by an EC declaration of conformity for new or rental equipment. Clearance for jacks at tensioning end must be made available in accordance with drawings 34 to 46. This clearance must remain available during service life of the structure if force adjustment, load monitoring or replacement of tendon has been foreseen. H.2 PARTICULAR RECOMMENDATIONS H.2.1 Tendons with Couplers Tensioning of secondary cables shall be such as to avoid the force at coupler end to exceed that of the primary cables after blocking. H.3 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR TENSIONING AND CONTROL H.3.1 General Method for Tensioning Tensioning is done in accordance with the Freyssinet procedures, the specifications ETAG 013, CWA 14646, ENV 13670-1 and applicable national regulations. H.3.2 Measurements of Stressing Forces Force readings must take into account calibration of tensioning equipment and losses due to friction in anchorages as given in the following table: Bare Strands Anchorage Model 3 to 13 C 15 19 to 55 C 15 and 25 CC 15 1 F 13/15 3 to 4 F 13/15 1 to 2 X 15

PROTECTION OF TENDONS
I.1 LUBRICATION AND TEMPORARY PROTECTION Temporary protection of tensile elements is obtained by factory-applied soluble oil.
If storage of strands on site is longer or if tendon injection cannot be done in due time after tensioning (delay exceeding four weeks), this temporary protection must be regularly renewed, in conformity with applicable specifications. This lubrication may also be used to reduce friction coefficient of cable inside duct. I.2 FILLING MATERIALS USED I.2.1 Cement Grout
Cement grout is a stable, uniform mix of Portland cement, additives and water obtained by a mechanical mixing process. It is screened and kept agitated in a storage tank until injected into the duct. Freyssinet prestressing tendons can be injected with: either a common grout complying with the requirements of European standards EN 447 (requirements for common grout) and EN 445 (test methods). The grout setting can be retarded to provide a longer groutability, or a special grout, as per the requirements of paragraph C.4.3 of ETAG 013. I.2.2 Wax
The wax for injecting prestressing tendons shall be a petroleum wax meeting the requirements of paragraph C.4.2 of ETAG 013. I.2.3 Grease
The grease for Freyssinet prestressing tendons shall be a mineral-oil-based grease meeting the requirements of paragraph C.4.1 of ETAG 013. I.3 INJECTION EQUIPMENT
Mixers, wax melting units, and pumps supplied by Freyssinet for injecting tendons are all subject to anEC declaration of conformity with the applicable regulations governing new or rented equipment.

MECHANICAL AND GEOMETRICAL CONDITIONS OF USE
J.1 FRICTION LOSSES AND ELONGATIONS J.1.1 Friction in Tendons The coefficients of friction () and of wobble (k), as defined in European standard pr EN1992-1-1 to obtain the prestressing force with the equation P(x) = Pmax e-(+kx), vary in accordance with uses (internal or external prestressing, standard strands or monostrands), the type and stiffness of ducts (steel or HDPE strip sheath or pipe), surface treatments, lubrication of the strands, whether with soluble oil or grease. The acceptable variation of the coefficient of friction is usually 25%. The coefficient of friction can rise significantly in deviation zones with a curvature radius less than 6 metres. The coefficients in the following table are for information only (and must be adapted to each project). Friction Coefficient (rad-1)

J.1.2 Parameters for Evaluation of Elongation during Stressing J.1.2.1 Pull-In at Wedge Blocking At end of stressing the jack is released and the wedges are pulled-in into the anchorage block to anchor the strands. Freyssinet jacks can allow a hydraulic blocking to reduce the pull-in amount.

Table 13 Wedge Pull-In at Stressing Anchorages
J.1.2.2 Pull-In at Passive Anchorages The pull-in value at passive anchorage creates a translation of the cable and increases the elongation at stressing end. This value must be deduced from the measured elongation at each stressing step. The mean pull-in values at passive end are: T13 strand: 5 mm, T15 strand: 6 mm. J.1.2.3 Pull-in within Type P Coupling Units The mean pull-in values within strand connectors are as follows: T13 strand: 10 mm, T15 strand: 12 mm. J.2 GEOMETRICAL CONDITIONS OF USE J.2.1 Clearance behind Anchorages Behind each anchorage a clearance must be reserved to allow for: Installation of wedges, Placing of stressing jack, Sufficient protection cover of cable end after cutting-off of strand overlengths, Installation of temporary or permanent cap, if necessary.
42/52
In the case of an active anchorage the necessary clearance for jack placing and actioning is described in the drawings given in Part K thereafter. For external passive anchorages a minimal clearance of 500 mm allows the installation of wedges on protruding strands. J.2.2 Lateral Cover and Distances Anchorages must have a sufficient edge distance and be separated from each other by a minimum centre distance. These distances are derived from reference dimensions a and b of the test specimens. In what follows, it is considered that anchorages are positioned relative to two orthogonal directions x and y, with the smaller dimension of the trumplate aligned along axis x. Notations: A, B: plane dimensions of the trumplate (A % a, b: side lengths of test specimen (a E x, y: minimum centre distance between two anchorages in the structure in x- and ydirections, x, y: minimum edge distance between anchorages and the closest external surface in x- and y-directions, fcm,o: mean compressive strength measured on cylinder required before tensioning.

If the project calls for a value fcm,o other than any of those in the two tables directly above, the appropriate values of x and y can be determined by interpolation. However, full tension cannot be exerted when fcm,o is less than the lowest value indicated in tables 14 and 15 (e.g. 24 MPa for model C anchorages). For partial tensioning or for a tension of less than Min{0.8 Fpk; 0.9Fp0.1%}, the required value for fcm,o can be determined by interpolation considering that at 50% of the total force, the required concrete strength can be reduced to 2/3 of the values given in the two tables above 44/52
and at 30% of the total force, the required concrete strength can be reduced to 1/2 of the values given in the same tables. J.3 BURSTING REINFORCEMENT In anchorage zone prestressing tendons impose to the structure concentrated forces requiring a specific arrangement of reinforcement. In case of concrete structures, bursting reinforcement consists in: Surface reinforcement, Anchorage bursting reinforcement, General reinforcement to equilibrate mechanically the concerned piece within the structure, the dimensions of which result from the design rules of reinforced concrete. Anchorage bursting reinforcement as defined thereunder results from load transfer testing. If required the local zone reinforcement specified in the ETA may be modified for a specific project design in accordance with national regulations and relevant approval of the local authorities and of the ETA holder to provide equivalent performance. J.3.1 C-Model Anchorages J.3.1.1 Cross-laid Wave-form Bars / Stirrups The diagrams below define the general layout of bursting reinforcement when cross-laid wave-form bars are used. Each layer has two cross-laid bent bars. For practical reasons, each bent bar can be replaced by two stirrups of at least equivalent resisting section (see diagram below).
