6.2.3 Anchor Design

Configuration of Tendons in Webs

2yo(V)
Each web consists of three cables vertically placed as
H
shown in the figure.
2yo(V)
The dimension , 2Yo , should be taken as twice the
smaller of the two configurations mentioned below: 2ypo(V)

a) The distance from the line of action of the 2ypo(H)

force to the nearest concrete.
B
b) Half the distance between the line of action of
the force and the line of action ot its nearest
neighbour anchorage.

Number of strands in each cable = 37.0

Number of Tendons = 3.0
Strands diameter = 15.2 mm
Breaking load per strand = 260 kN
Web width (B) = 750 mm
Deck depth (H) = 1800 mm
Bearing plate width = 420 mm
Bearing plate height = 420 mm
Centre to centre distance b/w anchors = 550 mm
% of breaking load applied as jacking force 75.0 %
Characteristic strength of link reinforcement (fyv) = 500 N/sq.mm

Post tensioning force per tendon (Pk) = 7226 kN
