    MULTI-STRAND POST-TENSIONING

    MULTI-STRAND POST-TENSIONING

    Structural Systems have two distinct systems availablefor multi-strand applications. These systems are BBR

    Cona Multi, and BBR VT Cona CMI.

    BBR CONA MULTI

    The BBR Cona Multi has been offered for the last 40

    years and is available in standardised tendon sizes

    from:

    • 7 strands up to 61 strands for 12.7mm and 12.9mm

    strand, or

    • 4 strands up to 55 strands for 15.2mm and 15.7mmstrand.

    The BBR Cona Multi can be used with galvanised steel

    and polyethylene ducting. The system is a bonded

    system with the ducting being pressure filled with a

    cementitious grout.

    Standard applications use the M1 range, with the M3

    range being used for cryogenic applications, and other

    specialist applications. Please consult SSL for details on

    which system best suits your applications.

    BBR VT CONA CMI

    The BBR VT Cona CMI is a revolutionary, state of the art,

    bonded, post-tensioning system incorporating world’s

    best practice, and is available in standard tendon sizes

    from:

    • 4 strands up to 61 strands for 15.2mm and 15.7mm

    strand.

    The system has been granted European Technical

     Approval in accordance with the testing procedures

    contained within ETAG013 and is CE marked.

    These tests included static tests,

    fatigue tests, load transfer and

    cryogenic tests.

    European Technical Approval provides clear independent

    review, full and complete system testing to the highest

    European standard, quality assurance, and independent

    auditing of all systems components. Every product

    is tested to the same standards and afterwards an

    independent auditor ensures that what is delivered

    and installed on site fully complies with that which was

    tested.

    On completion of the tests, the approval body evaluated

    the test results, drawings, specifications and the complete

    system. The package was then circulated to all member

    states of the EU for ratification.

    Copies of the BBR VT European Approval Documents

    are available for download from www.bbrnetwork.comand www.structuralsystems.com.au.

    The BBR VT Cona CMI has significant advantages over

    the BBR Cona Multi as well as significant competitive

    advantage over other ETAG approved systems. These

    advantages include:

    • Less space is required in the anchor zone which

    results in less concrete, slimmer structures and less

    eccentricity in the anchors.

    • Significantly lower concrete strength prior to

    stressing resulting in shorter construction cycles.• Less reinforcement in the anchorage zone resulting

    in time and cost savings.

    TENDON PROPERTIES

    Notes: • Table indicates maximum number of strands that can be accomodated by the tendon stressing unit.

      • Larger ID ducting should be selected for tendons > 80m, or if strands are installed after concreting, or where tight or extended curvatures occur.

      • Plastic sheaths conforming to ETAG013 should be used. Alternatively, corrugated polyethylene ducting may be used if permitted in the local region.

      • Refer page 4 for additional design data and details.

      • Maximum jacking force is usually 0.8 x MBL.

      • For radii of curvature and straight portion diagram refer to BBR CONA Multi System.

    Notes: • Table indicates maximum number of strands that can be accomodated by the tendon stressing anchorage unit.

    • Duct sizes are quoted for typical situations. It may be possible to slight ly reduce duct size in some situations. Consideration should be given to the use of larger

    ducts where tight or extended curvatures occur. Refer to SSL office for advice. Alternate duct sizes are generally available in 5mm ID increments

    • Partial tendons are also permissible. 

    (i.e. a 15No. 12.7mm strand tendon would be specified as “1905-15”, supplied with a 1905 stressing anchorage and would have a MBL of 15 x 184 = 2760 kN, etc.)

      • Maximum Multi-strand Jacking force is usually 0.8 x MBL.

      • Refer page 5 for additional design data and details on standards.

      • MBL = Minimum Breaking Load

    Structural Systems has been offering the BBR Cona Multi

    post-tensioning system for over 40 years. This multi-

    strand system is predominantly used in civil structures

    including bridges, silos, tanks and off-shore structures

    and is a robust and reliable “bonded” prestressing

    system.

    The BBR Cona Multi system consists of up to 61 No.12.7mm/12.9mm or 91 No. 15.2mm/15.7mm strands to

    form tendons which are installed inside round ducting.

    The individual strands are anchored in a common

    anchor head with a wedge grip system and the strands

    are simultaneously stressed. Individual strand stressing

    is possible in some circumstances. After stressing the

    ducting is pressure filled with a cementitious grout.

    The choice between the anchorage types depends on

    structural requirements, availability and dimensional

    constraints.

    For standard applications type M1 anchorages are

    generally preferred. Type M3 are used for cryogenic

    applications or where it maybe necessary to use a

    rectangular anchorage for clearance reasons. (It is

    recommended that SSL is consulted for non-standard

    plate sizes).

    The type of stressing anchorage used may vary

    depending on the application, size and number of

    anchorages required, type of tendon sheathing, project

    location and availability of components. The tables

    below provide performance and dimensional data for

    two typical anchorages. Several other BBR anchorage

    configurations are also available and there may be some

    variations in dimensions to those shown. The designer

    should check with Structural Systems for full and current

    technical information on the preferred anchorage type.

    SHEATHING AND CORROSION PROTECTION

    For conventional applications, corrugated galvanised steel ducts are used with a wall thickness of 0.3mm.

    For applications requiring enhanced corrosion protection and improved fatigue resistance of the tendons, use

    of corrugated plastic duct is recommended. This fully encapsulated, watertight system offers superb corrosion

    protection, and the plastic duct eliminates fretting fatigue between the strand and duct. It also provides reduced duct

    friction. All ducts are manufactured in a variety of standard lengths and are coupled on site. Steel ducts are available

    in diameters ranging from 40mm to 160mm in approximately 5mm increments.

      • the post-tensioning force to be transmitted

      • the concrete strength

    • the bearing plate dimensions

      • the reinforcing steel behind the bearing plate

      • structural requirements

    ao  = min. distance between axis of two  anchorages

    bo  = min. distance from concrete edge to

      anchorage axis

    Dsp  = suggested outside diameter of reinforcing

      steel spirals

    f’c = nominal concrete cylinder strength

    Prestressing forces can usually be applied at 80% of

    nominal concrete cylinder strength.

    SLAB POST-TENSIONING

    Designers, builders, owners and end users of buildings

    require more efficiencies today than ever before. The

    Structural Systems Slab Post-Tensioning System offers

    all the stakeholders in a building project many benefits

    including:

    •  Reduced structural depths

    •  Greater clear spans

    •  Design flexibility

    •  Formwork versatility

    •  Reduced construction costs

    •  Enhanced construction speed

    •  Improved durability•  Minimum maintenance costs

    The system is comprised of high-strength steel strands

    placed inside flat ducting, anchored at one end by

    deforming the strand and casting it into the concrete,

    then at the other end by means of a steel anchorage

    casting and anchor block(s) with gripping wedges. After

    the concrete has reached a suitable transfer strength,

    the individual strands have a specified load applied by

    calibrated jacks. The duct is filled with a water/cement

    grout mixture to ensure that the system is bonded and

    corrosion protection is maintained in service.

     Applications for the Structural Systems Slab Post-

    Tensioning System include:

    •  Low to high rise residential and commercial

    buildings•  Industrial floor slabs on grade

    •  Transfer floor structures

    •  Car parks

    •  Water tank bases and walls

    •  Transverse stressing of bridge decks

    realise the benefits of post tensioning, such as:

    • Carparks

    • Apartment buildings

    • Commercial office space

    • Retail centres

    • Vertical load transfer structures

    • Hospitals

    • Storage facilities

    • Public buildings such as stadiums, exhibition

    centres, schools and institutional facilities

    Different formwork systems are compatible with post-tensioning, namely:

    • Conventional plywood systems

    • Permanent metal deck systems

    • Ribbed slabs

    • Precast systems

    Structural Systems has many years of experience in the

    design and installation of post-tensioned suspended

    slabs and can bring measurable benefits to your

    It is important that the design requirements are achieved

    on site. Good engineering notation can greatly assist in

    achieving this, with particular attention to the following;

    • The System.  State that the design is based on

    the Structural Systems SLAB post-tensioning system.

    This ensures that a fully tested and code compliant

    system will be installed.

    • Concrete.  Nominate the 28 day characteristic

    compressive strength and shrinkage characteristics

    required. Some projects may have additional

    requirements.

    • Concrete Strength at Transfer fcp

    . This is the

    minimum compressive strength that is required prior to

    fully stressing the tendons. Concrete testing of site and

    air cured specimens should be carried out to ensure thisstrength has been achieved prior to application of the

    final stressing.

    •  Tendons.  Clearly indicate the type and location of

    anchorages and number of strands in each tendon. Check

    that stressing access is possible at live ends.

    • Profiling. High and low points should be nominated.

    Full tendon profiles can then be determined on installation

    shop drawings. Profiles are usually parabolic.

    • Stressing Procedure. A two stage stressing procedure

    is usually specified. Initial or 25% load is applied at 24

    hours after the slab pour, and final or 100% load is applied

    when the concrete transfer strength is released.

    •  Grout. A water/cement ratio of not more than 0.45is usually sufficient to ensure adequate grouting and

    strength.

    Structural detailing is an art that engineers develop with

    experience and it is an essential part of a cost effective

    and reliable structure. Below are a selection of tried and

    proven details that Structural Systems recommend for a

    range of situations. A key factor in achieving a successful

    Post-Tensioned Structure is a sound understanding of and

    a considered allowance for normal concrete shrinkage

    movements.

    CONSTRUCTIONStructural Systems designers have worked closely over

    many years with builders and construction personnel

    resulting in a well understood system that enhances theconstruction process. An appreciation of the construction

    process will enable all parties involved in the on site

    works to benefit from the system. The typical construction

    sequence is as follows;

    • Erect formwork

    • Install bottom reinforcement

    • Install post-tensioning

    • Install top reinforcement

    • Prepour inspection and pour concrete

    • Strip edge forms

    • Initial/ Partial stressing of tendons

    • Final/ Full stressing of tendons

    • Obtain engineers approval and cut

    off excess tendon strand

    • Grout the tendons

    • Strip formwork and back prop

    The post-tensioning of slabs on ground is providing

    many developers and builders with a cost effective

    pavement solution. Benefits realised with post tensioned

    slabs on ground include:

    • Large joint free slab areas

    • Reduced construction costs

    • Less sub base preparation and/or

    excavation

    • Faster construction time

    • Reduced on going maintenance costs

    Facilities that have adopted a post-tensioned slab on

    ground system include:

    • Distribution warehouses

    • Freezer stores

    • Container terminal facilities

    • Rail freight facilities

    • Aircraft hangers

    • Water retaining structures

    • Sporting venues• Raft slabs

    DESIGN

    The design of post-tensioned slabs on ground involves

    the careful analysis of the loads applied to the slab,

    the interaction between the slab and the ground that

    supports it, restraint forces and temperature effects.

    Structural Systems has refined the design process and

    has achieved outstanding results on many projects.

    Our design and construction expertise for preliminarydesign advice through to final design and construction

    activities is available to assist builders, engineers and

    developers in achieving optimum solutions for slab on

    ground applications.

    Points to consider in the design process include:

    Design Loads and Load Configurations

    Thermal EffectsDaily ambient temperature variations give rise to

    temperature gradient stresses through the slab depth

    which need to be accounted for in the design. Typical

    gradients of 0.02 ºC/mm and 0.04 ºC/mm are often

    used for internal and external slabs respectively causing

    bottom fibre tensile stresses that are additional to the

    load stresses.

    Sub-grade FrictionNormal elastic and shrinkage movements give rise to

    frictional restraint stresses between the slab and the

    prepared subgrade. The typical design friction coefficient

    for concrete laid on a plastic membrane over clean sand

    bedding is around 0.5 to 0.6.

    Sub-base Parameters A typical slab design will include the analysis of the

    slab supported by the ground sub-base. Modelling of

    the sub-base requires geotechnical data such as CBR,

    and/or the modulus of sub-grade reaction.

    SLAB POST-TENSIONING

    Good detailing of post-tensioned slabs on ground is vital in

    achieving a successful and relatively crack free slab. 

    The following diagrams indicate key details typically

    recommended by Structural Systems:

    DESIGN OF POST-TENSIONED SLAB ON GROUND

    CONSTRUCTION

    Structural Systems design and construction experience

    is based on being the leader in the field of post-

    tensioned slabs on ground. The combination of innovative

    design and expedient site practices ensures that the

    construction phase is a seamless operation. The main

    items to consider for the construction phase are;

    Pour Size A pour size of between 1500m2  and 2000m2  should

    typically be considered and planned.

    Pour Sequence

    The sequence of slab pours and their respective stressing

    requirements should be optimized to ensure the best

    programme outcome.

    Curing and Weather Protection

    With large pours the slab is initially susceptible to

    shrinkage effects hence it is important to cure and

    protect the slab from extreme conditions such as heat,

    high evaporation or extreme cold. The construction

    of warehouse roofs prior to pouring slabs is a typical

    technique adopted to provide some protection.

    TYPICAL WAREHOUSE PLAN

    Note: • As a guide, allow for total slab edge & M.J. movements of approximately 0.5mm per metre length of slab

    (e.g for 60m long slab, each edge moves approx 15mm over the normal life of the slab),

    MULTI-WIRE POST-TENSIONING

    The BBR SSL Multi-Wire System is more compact

    than the multi-strand system and is often preferred for

    coupled cables in incrementally launched bridges, and is

    ideally suited where cables are to be prefabricated and

    where restressing or destressing is required.

    The multi-wire tendon is composed of a bundle of 7mm

    dia. wires (plain or galvanised). Each individual wire is

    fixed in the anchorage with a multi-wire button head,

    which is cold-formed onto the wire by means of special

    machines.

    • Each wire is mechanically fixed in the anchor headand reaches the full rupture load of the prestressing

    steel without any slippage. Therefore the wire

    bundle can sustain the maximum ultimate load.

    •  The prestressing force is transmitted to the concrete

    under precisely known conditions without any risk

    of slippage of the prestressing steel.

    •  Monitoring of the prestressing force and if

    necessary restressing can be carried out reliably

    and economically. If required, the tendon can alsobe completely destressed.

    • The anchorage resists with a high degree of safety

    dynamic loads and also exceptional effects such as

    shock loads.

    Typical applications include:

    •  Coupled cables in incremtally launched bridges.

    •  Cable stay applications.

    •  Restressable tendons.

    •  Heavy lifting and lowering cables.

    • Restressable ground anchors.

    PRESTRESSING JACKS

    Grouting of Ducts 

    SSL has developed grouting methods utilising special

    colloidal mixers which result in an optimal grouting of the

    tendon ducts.

    Prestressing Equipment

    The prestressing equipment consist of a hydraulic

     jack, trestle and pull-rod, which is connected to the

    stressing anchorage. For tendon elongations greater

    than the stroke of the jack, the pull-rod is temporarily

    anchored with a lock-nut and the jack is recycled.

    The prestressing force can be measured with an accuracy

    of 2% by using calibrated 150mm face bourdon type

    pressure gauges.

    Standard Tendons

    The anchoring method allows the production of post-

    tensioning tendons with any number of single wires and

    therefore with any given magnitude of prestressing force.

    The most commonly used wire diameter is 7 millimetres.

    With the following range of STANDARD TENDONS, all

    prestressing requirements occurring in the construction

    of bridges, buildings and other structures can be met.

    For special applications, eg; nuclear vessels, tendons up

    to 15,000 kN ultimate capacity are available.

    BAR POST-TENSIONING

    Corrosion Protection All bars and fittings must receive protection when

    installed under permanent conditions. In normal concreteconstruction the use of galvanised duct, injected with

    grout, provides excellent protection. Anchorage recesses

    must also be filled with cement mortar to protect

    these end zones.

    When bars are used in an exposed environment then

    other corrosion protection systems are available for the

    bar and fittings. These include:

    •  greased and sheathing bar

    •  denso wrapping

    •  epoxy painting

    Temporary Bar Anchors Anchors used in a temporary environment may be

    used without protection apart from grout required to the

    bond length.

    Permanent Bar AnchorsThese anchors require installation into corrugated

    polyethylene sheathing or galvanised duct similar to

    strand anchors to provide multiple levels of protection.

    This is accomplished by the internal grout and sheathing

    barrier.

    Macalloy Bar Systems are ideal for the economic

    application of post-tensioning forces on relatively short

    tendons. Through the use of threaded connections and

    anchorages they are simple to use and lend themselves to

    many applications.

    The robust coarse thread (CT) on the Macalloy bar

    ensures rapid and reliable assembly. This is particularly

    suitable for onsite use and reuse.

    External prestressing was first used in the late 1920’s

    and has recently undergone a resurgence being

    used in bridges, both for new construction as well as

    strengthening of existing structures.

    Features of External Prestressing

    External prestressing is characterised by the following

    features:

    •  The prestressing tendons are placed on the outside

    of the physical cross section (mostly in concrete)

    of the structure.

    • The forces exerted by the prestressing tendons

    are only transferred to the structure at the

    anchorages and at deflectors.

    •  No bond is present between the tendon and

    the structure, except at anchorage and deflector

    locations.

     Advantages of External Prestressing

    Compared to internal bonded post-tensioning the external

    prestressing has the following distinct advantages:

    a) The application of external prestressing can be

    combined with a broad range of construction

    materials such as steel, timber, concrete,

    composite structures and plastic materials. This

    can considerably widen the scope of the post-

    tensioning applications.

    b) Due to the location and accessibility of the

    tendons, monitoring and maintenance can be

    readily carried out compared to internal, bonded

    prestressing.

    c) Due to the absence of bond, it is possible to

    restress, destress and exchange any external

    prestressing cable, provided that the structural

    detailing allows for these actions.

    d) Improves the concrete placing due to the absence

    of tendons in the webs.

    e) Improvement of conditions for tendon installation

    which can take place independently from the

    concrete works.

    f) Reduction of friction losses, because the

    unintentional angular changes, known as wobble,

    are practically eliminated. Furthermore with

    the use of a polyethylene sheathing the friction

    coefficient is drastically reduced compared to

    internal bonded prestressing using corrugatedmetal ducts.

    g) External prestressing tendons can easily and

    without major cost implication be designed to be

    replaceable, de-stressable and re-stressable.

    h) Generally the webs can be made thinner, resulting

    in an overall lighter structure.

    i) Strengthening capabilities.

     As an overall result, better concrete quality can be obtained

    leading to a more durable structure.

    Typical Applications for External

    Prestressing

    Typical applications where external tendons are feasible,

    practical and economical, are:

    - Repair work and strengthening of all kinds ofstructures

    - Precast segmental construction

    - Simple and continuous spans

    - Underslung structures

    - Incremental launching procedure, in particular

    concentric prestressing

    Basic Type

    The basic SSL BAR CONA External tendon is practically

    identical to the SSL Multi-Strand System for internal

    applications:

    - The tendon is formed from standard 15.2mm/

    15.7mm diameter strands with minimum breaking

    load of 250 kN or 279 kN.

    - The duct is from high density polyethylene and

    continuous from one anchorage to the other.

    The tendon sheathing passes freely through

    intermediate diaphragms and through deflectors

    with a metal or HDPE sleeve providing the required

    penetration.

    - A standard CONA Compact anchorage assemblyconsisting of anchor head, wedges, anchorage

    casting and polyethylene trumpet safely

    transfers the prestressing forces to the structure

    (see Fig. 1).

    - Alternatively a fabricated steel bearing plate

    anchorage can be used in lieu of the cast

    anchorage.

    - The tendon is filled with cement grout after it has

    been tensioned. Depending on requirements,

    the anchor heads may be protected by a cap, or

    alternatively the anchorage recess is filled with non-

    shrink concrete.

    Structural Systems can provide strand (BBR HiAm

    ConaTM ) stay cables, wire (DinaTM / HiAmTM ) stay cables,

    and Carbon stay cables for a wide variety of structures,

    drawing on both local and global expertise and resources

    of the BBR Network. For suspension bridges, BBR

    Technology can also be used for the main suspension

    cables as well as for the hangers.

    Stay cables may be plain strand / wire unsheathed for

    temporary applications.

    For permanent stay cable applications, galvanised,

    waxed and individually sheathed strands, enclosed in

    an external sheath are adopted; or wires enclosed in

    a sheath and the voids filled with a flexible corrosion

    protection compound.

    In recent years a fatigue stress range of 200 N/mm 2 

    for 2x106  load cycles in combination with angular

    rotations at the anchorages has been adapted and is

    now specified by most codes and recommendations.

    BBR Stay Cable Technology has fulfilled such fatiguetesting.

    Strand Stay Cables

    BBR HiAm ConaTM Parallel Strand Stay Cables Installation

    is typically performed on site using the strand-by-strand

    method. Each strand is tensioned immediately after

    installation, using the BBR isostress tensioning method,ensuring an equal force distribution among the strands

    of an individual cable. Alternatively, fully or partially

    prefabricated cables can be installed and tensioned.

    Strands are generally 15.7mm diameter, low relaxation

    grade, minimum guaranteed ultimate tensile stress of

    1770 N/mm2  or 1860 N/mm2  and subject to fatigue

    testing by the manufacturer. Strands are galvanized,

    waxed and individually sheathed with a continuous and

    wear resistant HDPE coating, providing each strand with

    an individual multilayer protection system. Alternatives

    may also be available upon request. A ring nut screwedon anchor heads transfers the cable loads by contact

    pressure to the supporting bearing plates, and allows

    adjustment of stay force. All anchorage components are

    designed for a stress range greater than 300 N/mm2 and

    to withstand the ultimate breaking load of the strand

    bundle with adequate safety.

    Supplemental internal or alternatively external damping

    devices protect the stay cable from vibrations.

     Another effective countermeasure against wind and

    rain-induced vibrations is the use of a helical rib on

    the outside of the HDPE, architecturally coloured

    co-extruded stay pipe.

    Final stay cable force may also be adjusted using a

    specially designed multi-strand jack acting on the entire

    stay cable. Individual strands can be re-stressed at any

    time during or after the installation, allowing not only

    for a re-stressing but also for the selective removal,

    inspection and replacement of individual strands or the

    entire stay cable.
