111. CALCULATION OF THE PRESTRESSING FORCE
Calculation of the prestressing force in the tendon
To carry out this calculation, one must first establish two distinctly different stages :
" Tensioning stage
The stresses in the tensioned tendon result from the force exerted by the jack and from the internal friction
between the tendon and, on the one hand, the anchorage and, on the other, the duct. Their determination
enables the calculation of theoretical elongations, which must be recorded during tensioning. The value of
the initial stress after removal of the jack is assessed by taking into account the pull-in.
" Time dependent stress variation
The stress in the tendon varies continually with the process of time, due to the occurrence of phenomena ty-
pical of the structural concrete, i.e. shrinkage and creep, as well as steel relaxation. Therefore, these phe-
nomena must be taken into account to determine the actual stress condition of the tendon at any time.
111.1 Forces and stresses exerted during tensioning
According to the 1990 CEB-FIP Model-Code, the stress (x), in a section located at a distance x from the
po
live anchorage, is lower than the stress ; the difference between the two stresses corresponds to the
po, max
friction losses. The value of (x) can be calculated using the following relationship:
po
(x) = e ( + kx)
po po, max.
where:
e = Base of Naperian logarithms.
= Friction coefficient between prestressing steel and duct.
= Sum of angular deviations over the distance x, independent of their direction and sign (spatial outline).
k = Unintentional angular deviation, per unit length.
This can also be expressed as follows:
= e ( + kx)
x o
or again:
= e ( + x)
x o
in which: = and = k
The friction coefficient is also known as f. The relationship is then usually expressed as follows:
= e (f + x) or, again: (x) = e f  x
x o po po
where:
(x) = Tension in a given section
po
= Tension at the live anchorage.
po
111.11 Radii of curvature, friction coefficients and unintentional angular deviations
The friction coefficients depend on the type of steel used, the nature of the duct and the surface condition
of each material. The accepted values and tolerances vary according to the origin of the statutory texts.

111.12 Pull-in of jaws
Functioning of an anchorage with conical jaws
The loss of elongation occurs when the force exerted by the jack on the tendon is directly transferred
through the anchorage to the structure. This transfer takes place when the jack tensioning chamber is being
drained. The energy required to complete the conical tightening is only reached after a feeding motion
from the strand, pulling in the jaw; the pull-in can be diminished by carrying out a prior hydraulic locking,
using an auxiliary jack. The values of the jaw pull-in are indicated in the tables giving the technical cha-
racteristics of each anchorage.
The drop in tension in the anchoring zone is often advantageous, since it permits the elimination of the mo-
mentary overtensioning necessary to reach the desired tension in the important sections of the structure.
Calculation the tension after locking
During the conical locking, the returning motion of the tendon is hampered by the friction with the sheath; this is the
opposite phenomenon to that observed during tensioning. The drop in tension, which is maximum at the anchorage,
decreases progressively and symmetrically (tensioning diagram) and ceases at a distance d from the anchorage.
Before the pull-in, the tension at the abscissa x
was given by the formula (1) :

it is achieved from one end only (see fig. 7), the

111.3 Final prestressing force
The tension in prestressing tendons drops, due to the instantaneous shortening of the structure, and the time-
dependent shrinkage and creep effects on the concrete; the relaxation of prestressing steel comes in addi-
tion to these phenomena. Therefore, the sum of the losses resulting from all these phenomena must be ob-
tained, in order to assess the final value of the prestressing force when designing the structure. The
formulae permitting the calculation of the losses are given in the national or international codes such as
Eurocode 2, the CEB-FIP Recommendations or the French regulations (BPEL 91), for example.

111.31 Instantaneous deformation of concrete
The loss of prestress caused by the structure instantaneous shrinkage, following the action of the force exer-
ted by the prestressing tendons and the other permanent actions, is not considerable. It can be equated to a
mean loss affecting each tendon, amounting, in a given section, to the following, according to the French
code BPEL 91:
Ep k bj (15)
Eij
" bj being the variation of stress in the concrete occurring at the level of the centre of gravity of the pres-
tressing tendons in the section considered, under the varying permanent actions exerted on day j.
In practice, when the stress variations remain limited, a sufficient estimation of the loss due to instantaneous
deformations of concrete can generally be obtained by assuming it to be equal to 6k (16) - represen-
b b
ting the final stress of concrete.
" and k a multiplying coefficient equal to:
 1/2 for the stress variations due to the relative prestress during the tensioning phase of the tendons consi-
dered and to the permanent actions simultaneously exerted.
 1 for the stress variations due to the permanent actions exerted following this tensioning phase, including
those due to prestressing tendons subsequently tensioned.
In the case of n similar tendons tensioned one after the other, the coefficient k is actually equal to
(n  1)/2n. It draws closer to 1/2 when the number of tendons is higher.
111.32 Concrete shrinkage
Shrinkage is the shortening of the unloaded concrete, during its hardening. The prestressing tendons, tightly
bonded to the concrete, are therefore subject to the same variations of deformation as the adjacent concrete.
The final loss of tension due to concrete shrinkage, in the case of constant thermic and hygrometric condi-
tions, depends on the age of the concrete at the moment of tensioning, of the total concrete shrinkage and
of its development in time.
The final loss of tension due to shrinkage, for the considered tendon, is the following, according to the French BPEL 91
code:
= Ep [1  r (t0)] (17)
r r
with Ep = Modulus of elasticity of steel, = Final shrinkage deformation and r(t0) = Function reflecting the
r
law of time-dependent shrinkage development.
r (t0) can often be ignored, hence the following simplified formula :
H" Ep . (18)
r r
111.33 Concrete creep
Deformation by creep is caused by a time-dependent shortening of concrete due to compressive stresses.
The final loss of tension due to concrete creep, in the case of constant thermic and hygrometric conditions, de-
pends on the maximal stress and on the final stress withstood by the concrete in the zone considered, on the
age of concrete at the moment of tensioning, as well as the duration and magnitude of the loading.
According to the French BPEL 91 code, the final loss of tension the reinforcement is subject to is the fol-
lowing:

111.34 Relaxation of prestressing steel
A tendon permanently tensioned and maintained, after tensioning, at a constant length, is subjected to a loss
of tensile stress. The final value of the loss of tension due to relaxation is dependent on the duration of the
application of the prestressing force, on the guaranteed value of relaxation at 1 000 hours and on the value
of the tendon initial tension. Therefore, when verifying an old structure, the possible influence from a more
important relaxation must be considered, depending on the age of the construction.
The BPEL 91 code proposes the following formula for determining the final loss due to relaxation:
6
= [ pi(x)  o] pi (x) (21)
p 1000

where:

0.43 for very low relaxation tendons;
0.30 for normal relaxation tendons;
0.35 for other tendons.
111.35 Time-dependent losses
It is necessary to take into account the interaction of all the previous phenomena.
To take into account this interaction, the BPEL code proposes the indiscriminate reduction of relaxation using
the coefficient 5/6.
Thus, the final time dependent loss becomes the following:
= + + 5 . (22)

cept j H" 14 days). The superstructure is erected at 28 days. A brief calculation, done during the pre-dimensio-
ning design phase, based on an estimation of the mean force transmitted by one T15 strand equal to:

establishes in the median section, at the level of the centre of gravity of the tendons (at a distance of 0.14

111. CALCULATION OF THE PRESTRESSING FORCE
In the following, we will consider the value d = 13.95 m, theoretically more precise.
It can be seen that the effect of the anchorage pull-in is noticeable almost up to the middle of the beam.
At 0, after pull-in, the tension is the following:

Thus (see fig. 10), after depressurizing the jack

chamber, the tension is approximately symmetri-
cal in relation to the median section, which shows
 = 1 252
that it is useless to tension the tendon from both

ends.

The quasi-perfect coincidence of both values is a stroke of luck, the only veritable justification of the use of

111.5 Example for calculation of the elongation of a prestressing tendon
The proposed example involves the tensioning of a prestressing unit consisting of 1 770 MPa class strands,
15.2 mm in diameter. This unit is threaded into a corrugated sheath, in a beam with two continuous spans,
each being 22.00 m long. The tendon layout is given by the following figure.

The tensioning is simultaneously carried out from both ends; the initial tension P0 (or P 0) under the ancho-
rage, as calculated by the design office, is: = 1 416 MPa.

P2/P3 = (1 273 + 1 202) / 2 = 1 237.5 MPa.
 ELONGATION IN EACH SECTION
P0/P1 = l1 = (1 382 x 12 000) / 190 000 = 87.28 mm ;
P1/P2 = l2 = (1 310.5 x 5 000) / 190 000 = 34.48 mm ;
P2/P3 = l3 = (1 237.5 x 5 000) / 190 000 = 32.56 mm.
 TOTAL ELONGATION BETWEEN P0 AND P 0
l = 2 x ( l1 + l2 + l3) = 308.64 mm H" 309 mm.
Note : When checking the tendon elongations at the jack, one must add the elongation corresponding to
the overlength of the strand outside the sheath, necessary for tensioning the tendon (distance between the an-
chorage and the jaws of the jack).
