While each of the factors I mentioned in my original discussion of elongations can end up being less of a reduction than normal potentially adding up to an over-specification elongation the most common problem is over-stressing. Even so, the specified tolerances are quite stringent and unrealistic for relatively short tendons. In practically all constructions, the post-tensioning is fine-tuned to balance a fraction of the member's self-weight, typically 50% to 80% - not more than the member's total weight at stressing. 0000129515 00000 n

Step one is to check to make sure the elongation from the shop drawings is accurate. About half the time (in my experience) the yield strength is higher than nominal, or the strand is just a little bit oversized both of which help justify leaving the tendon as-is. This value comes from D = sL/AE where s = 189 ksi, L = 12 inches, A = 0.153 in 2, and E = 28,000 ksi. Steel tendons used for post-tensioning typically have a tensile strength of 270,000 pounds per square inch (psi), are about 1/2 inch in diameter, and are stressed to a force of 33,000 pounds. . 0000072391 00000 n

Even so, the specified tolerances are quite stringent and unrealistic for relatively short tendons. For that reason, elongations have always been used as a way to assess the post-tensioned forces within the tendons because the tendon force is directly proportional to the elongation through a known equation. It allows slabs and other structural members to be thinner. The alternative to pre-tensioning is post-tensioning.

This acts as an additional factor of safety. 0000083967 00000 n
Title: Elongation Tolerance for Short Tendons in Post-Tensioned Building Structures, Author(s): Carol Hayek and Thomas H.-K. Kang, Keywords: bonded; elongation; measurement; post-tensioned building structures; short tendons; tolerance; unbonded. Also, as explained earlier, the anchor set is a value that comes straight off the top of the elongation, instantly reducing the force in the tendon. The form is used for recording elongations for Unbonded Post Tensioning. when post-tensioning tendons are short. POST-TENSIONING. 0000123131 00000 n

Tendon elongation during stressing (D) is typically considered to be 0.081 inches per foot of concrete. 3) Placement of the anchorage block and jack. However, the measured elongations are characterized by a high. Elongation result should be checked and verified by the engineer before cutting excess strand. Longer spans can be used reducing the number of columns. 0000002247 00000 n
vikramjain66. Potential energy is created by the combination of the stud's elongation and tension. Consider additional elongation tolerance and lower final effective force (PTI Tech Note 16) Look at percent over/under elongation carefully . 1) Casting of concrete. In todays market, it is imperative to be knowledgeable and have an edge over the competition. 0000112125 00000 n

Bridges, including major cast-in-place and precast . Post-tensioning applications include:- office and apartment buildings, parking structures, slabs-on-ground, bridges, sports stadiums, rock and soil anchors, water-tanks. Install prestressing steel, which may be strands, wires or bars, through preformed voids or ducts in the concrete or in external In post-tensioned construction, hollow concrete masonry units are laid conventionally and prestressing tendons are either placed in the concrete masonry cells or in the cavity between multiple wythes.

Elongation at break 3.5% in 24" gauge length 3.5% in 24" gauge length Maxi. However, the measured elongations are characterized by a high degree of uncertainty and variability due to site tolerances, and that the calculated elongations are based on the ideal equations using theoretical parameters. This will also make the whole concrete . Elongations have been used to assess the forces inside post tensioned tendons immediately after the post-tensioning operation. 0000099364 00000 n

Even though post-tensioning is a mature technology, it is still a fantastic tool for the design engineer as it enables the active definition of the internal load path in concrete structures by superposing a favorable state for the internal stresses.
