for a maximum stressing force of 80% of the tendon breaking load.
L1: valid for CS STANDARD, L2 valid for CS PLUS and CS SUPER .
J1: standard inner/outer diameter of corrugated steel duct.
J2: standard inner/outer diameter of PT Plus duct.
n: number of spiral turns.
X: anchorage spacing, minimum clearance to edge Xc = 0.5*X + cover.
1) When diameter G to small to clear "nose" of bearing plate, set spiral back (i.e. E + 30mm).
