ALLOWABLE STRESSES :
Prestressing Steel :
Post-tensioned members
Stress immediately after seating at anchorage = 0.70f's = 1303.40 Mpa
Stress immediately after seating at the end of the seating loss zo = 0.83f*y = 1313.64 Mpa
Tensioning to 0.90f*y for short periods of time prior to seating
may be permitted to offset seating and friction losses provided
the stress at the anchorage does not exceed the above value. = 0.90f*y = 1424.43 Mpa
Stress at service load after losses = 0.80f*y = 1266.16 Mpa
Concrete :
1) Temporary Stresses Before Losses Due to Creep and Shrinkage
Compression
For post-tensioned members = 0.55f'ci = 19.25 Mpa
Tension
In areas with no bonded reinforcement = 0.25(f'ci)½ or 1.40 Mpa = 1.40 Mpa
Maximum tensile stress (bonded reinforcement) = 0.62(f'ci)½ = 3.67 Mpa

SHEAR STRENGTH
Shear strength provided by concrete will be the lesser value between this two equations :
1) Vci = 49.80(f'c)½b'd + Vd + (ViMcr/Mmax) > Min Vci = 141(f'c)½b'd
2) Vcw = [(290(f'c)½ + 0.30fpc) b'd] + Vp (for simplicity, we assumed Vp equal to zero in favor of stability)
Vci = Nominal shear strength provided by concrete when diagonal cracking results from combined shear and moment
Vcw = Nom. shear strength provided by concrete when diagonal cracking results from excessive principal tensile stress in web
VU = Factored shear force at section Vd = Shear force at section due to unfactored girder weight
Vi = Fact. shear force at section due to externally applied loads occuring simultaneously with M max
Vp = Vertical component of effective prestress force at section Md = Unfactored moment due to girder weight
Mcr = Moment causing flexural cracking at section due to externally applied loads = (Sbot)(498(f'c)½ + fpe - fd)
Mmax = Max. factored moment at section due to externally applied loa For Mcr : Sbot = Section modulus at bottom
b' = width of web of a flanged member fd = Stress due to unfactored dead load
d = distance from extreme compressive fiber to centroid of the prestressing force
fpe = Compressive stress in concrete due to effective prestress forces only (after allowance for all prestress losses) at extreme fiber of
section where tensile stress is caused by externally applied loads
fpc = Comp.stress in conc.(after allowance for all losses)at centroid of cross section resisting externally
applied loads or at junction of web and flange when the centroid lies within the flan S = Computed spacing of 2leg stirrups
Pf = Effective prestressing force after all losses e = Actual eccentricity of prestressing strands
A = Cross-sectional area of section considere s = Shear strength provided by web reinforcement = (Vu/f) - Vc where f = 0.85

Bonded Post-Tensioned Concrete
Bonded post-tensioned concrete is the descriptive term for a method of applying compression after pouring concrete and during the curing
process (in situ). The concrete is cast around a plastic, steel or aluminium curved duct, to follow the area where otherwise tension would occur
the concrete element.
A set of tendons are fished through the duct and the concrete is poured. Once the concrete has hardened, the tendons are tensioned by
hydraulic jacks that react (push) against the concrete member itself.
When the tendons have stretched sufficiently, according to the design specifications (see Hooke's law), they are wedged in position and mainta
tension after the jacks are removed, transferring pressure to the concrete. The duct is then grouted to protect the tendons from corrosion.
This method is commonly used to create monolithic slabs for house construction in locations where expansive soils (sometimes called adobe
clay) create problems for the typical perimeter foundation. All stresses from seasonal expansion and contraction of the underlying soil are taken
into the entire tensioned slab, which supports the building without significant flexure.
Post-tensioning is also used in the construction of various bridges, both after concrete is cured after support by falsework and by the assembly
prefabricated sections, as in the segmental bridge.
Among the advantages of this system over unbonded post-tensioning are:
1. Large reduction in traditional reinforcement requirements as tendons cannot destress in accidents.
2.Tendons can be easily "woven" allowing a more efficient design approach.
3. Higher ultimate strength due to bond generated between the strand and concrete
4. No long term issues with maintaining the integrity of the anchor/dead end.
History of problems with bonded post-tensioned bridges
The popularity of this form of prestressing for bridge construction in Europe increased significantly around the 1950s and 60s. However, a histo
of problems have been encountered that has cast doubt over the long-term durability of such structures.
Due to poor workmanship or quality control during construction, sometimes the ducts containing the prestressing tendons are not fully filled,
leaving voids in the grout where the steel is not protected from corrosion. The situation is exacerbated if water and chloride (from de-icing salts)
from the highway are able to penetrate into these voids.
Notable events are listed below:
1.The Ynys-y-Gwas bridge in West Glamorgan, Wales—a segmental post-tensioned structure, particularly vulnerable to defects in the post-
tensioning system—collapsed without warning in 1985.[1]
2. The Melle bridge, constructed in Belgium during the 1950s, collapsed in 1992 due to failure of post-tensioned tie down members following
tendon corrosion.
3.Following discovery of tendon corrosion in several bridges in England, the Highways Agency issued a moratorium on the construction of new
internal grouted post-tensioned bridges and embarked on a 5-year programme of inspections on its existing post-tensioned bridge stock.
4. In 2000, a large number of people were injured when a section of a footbridge at the Charlotte Motor Speedway, USA, gave way and droppe
to the ground. In this case, corrosion was exacerbated by calcium chloride that had been used as a concrete admixture, rather than sodium
chloride from de-icing salts.
5. In 2011, the Hammersmith Flyover in London, England, was subject to an emergency closure after defects in the post-tensioning system wer
discovered.[1]
Unbonded Post-Tensioned Concrete
Unbonded post-tensioned concrete differs from bonded post-tensioning by providing each individual cable permanent freedom of movement
relative to the concrete. To achieve this, each individual tendon is coated with a grease (generally lithium based) and covered by a plastic
sheathing formed in an extrusion process.[2] The transfer of tension to the concrete is achieved by the steel cable acting against steel anchors
embedded in the perimeter of the slab. The main disadvantage over bonded post-tensioning is the fact that a cable can destress itself and burs
out of the slab if damaged (such as during repair on the slab).
The advantages of this system over bonded post-tensioning are:
1.The ability to individually adjust cables based on poor field conditions (For example: shifting a group of 4 cables around an opening by placing
on each side).
2.The procedure of post-stress grouting is eliminated.
3. The ability to de-stress the tendons before attempting repair work.[3]
