2.3.1 General
The assessment of the fitness of the TTM bonded and unbonded post-tensioning system with 4 to 27 strands,
for the intended use in relation to the requirements for mechanical resistance and stability in the sense of
Essential Requirement 1 of the Council Directive 89/106/EEC has been made in compliance with the Guideline
for European Technical Approvals of post-tensioning kits for prestressing of structures, ETAG 013.
The release of dangerous substances is determined according to ETAG 013, clause 5.3.1. A declaration was made
by the kit manufacturer that the product does not contain any dangerous substances.
In addition to the specific clauses relating to dangerous substances contained in this European Technical
Approval, there may be other requirements applicable to the products falling within its scope. (e.g. transposed
European legislation and national laws, regulations and administrative provisions).
In order to meet the provisions of the Construction Products Directive, these requirements need also to be
complied with, when and where they apply.
The structural members (normal-weight concrete) prestressed by means of the TTM bonded and unbounded
strand post-Tensioning system used are to be designed in accordance with national regulations.
2.4 Design

The number of strands in a tendon may be reduced by leaving out strands lying radial-symmetrically in the
anchor head. The provisions for tendons with completely filled anchors also apply to tendons with only partly
filled anchor heads. Into the free drills in the anchor head the short pieces of strands with wedges have to be
pressed to prevent slipping out.
The admissible prestressing force is reduced per strand left out as shown in Table 7:

Losses of the prestressing force due to friction and wobble effects
The losses of the prestressing force due to friction and wobbling effects may normally be determined in the
calculation by using the friction coefficients and the unintentional angular displacement k (wobble coefficient)
given in Table 8 and 8a. The values and k depend on the given duct dimensions and on the maximum distances
between the tendon supports.
The given value of k only apply if the strands are in the ducts at the time of concreting.
If the strands are arranged after concreting, the given values shall only be used in the calculation if the ducts are
adequately stiffened during concreting, e.g. by means of PE pipes, or if reinforced ducts are used in connection
with smaller distances between tendon supports.
For the determination of strains and forces of prestressing steel friction losses PA in the active anchorage zone
shall be taken into account according to Table 8.

The ETA holder is responsible to inform anyone concerned about the use of this TTM Post-tensioning System.
Additional information as listed in ETAG 013, section 9.2 shall be held available at the ETA holder and shall be
distributed as needed.
The tendons and the components shall be handled carefully.

4.3.2 Welding
Welding at the anchorages is only permitted at the following points:
welding of the end of the helix to a closed ring;
for ensuring of the central position the helix may be attached to the bearing plate or anchor body by
tack-welding.
After placing the strands in the ducts no more welding shall be performed at the anchorages.
4.3.3 Installation of the tendon
The central position of the helix or stirrups shall be ensured by means of tack-welding to the bearing plate or the
anchor body or other appropriate mountings. The bearing plate or anchor body and the anchor head shall be in
direction vertical to the axis of the tendon.
The tendon shall be placed straightforward for the first meter at the anchorage.
The connection between trumpet and duct shall be sealed carefully with tape in order to prevent the penetrating of
concrete.
4.3.4 Wedging force, slip at anchorages, wedge securing and corrosion protection mass
If the calculated prestressing force is less than 0.7 Pm0,max the wedges of fixed anchorages shall be pre-wedged
with P0,max (see section 2.4.1).
The wedges of all anchorages which are no more accessible during tensioning shall be secured by means of
wedge keeping plates and bolts.
4.3.5 Tensioning
Before tensioning the minimum mean concrete strength shall comply with the values given in section 2.4.4.
It is admissible to restress the tendons by releasing and re-using the wedges. After restressing and anchoring,
wedge marks on the strands resulting from first stressing shall be moved to the outside by at least 15 mm.
The minimum straight length for tensioning behind the anchorages (strand protrusion) depends on the jack which
is used on site. All strands of a tendon shall be stressed simultaneously. This can be done by centrally controlled
individual jack or by a bundle jack.

GROUTING OF M, Mep (special application), MX ANCHORAGES

Grouting by infilling
Grouting can be carried out by means of a simple padding using expanding mortar, which must respect the proper
covering of the metallic parts of the anchorage.
Grouting with temporary cap
The cap is made up of a cover equipped with a sealing gasket fixed to the casting by means of suitable anchorages
which vary in length and size depending on the several applications. A special closing disc tightens the sealing gasket
and the cap to the grouting. The disc allows to turn the cap into the most suitable position to allow all the air to come
out of the vent tube.

UNBONDED POST-TENSIONING ON M, MX, D, Mep and Dep (special application),

ANCHORAGES
The unbonded post-tensioning with M, MX, and D anchorages is carried out by using unbonded, greased
and plastic-coated strands, which are restrained in a mortar grouting with a rubber buffer and allow their
following tensioning and the covering with grease of all the parts of the anchorage that are subject to
corrosion, such as: anchorage block, wedges and strand are restrained in grease.

Annex 24
1.
Preparatory work: the components of the prestressing kit shall be stored so as to avoid any damage or
corrosion.
2.
Anchorage recesses: adequate space to accommodate and to use the prestressing jack shall be ensured.
3.
Fixing the bearing plates: four holes are provided to fix the bearing plates to the formwork. The trumpet is
screwed into the bearing plate. The helix is either welded to the bearing plate by means of radial bars or
positioned by fixing it to the existing reinforcement.
4.
Placing of the sheaths: the sheaths are placed on supports with minimum radii of curvature according to Clause
2.4.3. The sheaths have to be jointed in a leak-proof way. The sheaths shall be supported such that any movement
is prevented.
5.
Installation of tensile elements (prestressing steel) : the prestressing steel is pushed or pulled into the sheaths
before or after concreting of the structure.
6.
Installation of the inaccessible fixed anchorages: after passing the strands through the anchor head, they are
anchored individually in the cones by means of ring wedges. After assembling the wedges are secured with
springs or a wedge retaining plate.
7.
Checking the tendons before concreting: before concreting the structure the fixation and position of the entire
tendon have to be checked and corrected if necessary. The sheaths shall be checked for any damage.
8.
Assembly of anchor block: after passing the strands through the anchor head, they are anchored individually in
the cones by means of ring wedges.
9.
Prestressing: at the time of stressing the mean concrete compressive strength shall be at least according to Table
10. The elongation of the tendon and the prestressing forces shall be checked and recorded systematically during
the stressing operation.
10. Grouting the tendons: the grout shall be injected through the inlet holes until it escaped from the outlet tubes
with the same consistency. All vents and grouting inlets shall be sealed immediately after grouting.
