lhe new Freyssinet C Range post-tensioning system has been developed as an answer fo modern civil engineering requirements The prime characteristic of the C range is compactness. The C range is the outcome of more than fifty years of experience in post-tensioning systems. Tendon sizes ranging from 3 to 55 15mm diameter strands are available. This guide provides information and data to help designers and users to prepare and carry out projects post-tensioned with the Freyssinet C multistrand system, However, changes may be made to the information contained in this brochure at any time «a new techniques and/or materials are developed. Users are invited to check that their copy is up to date and that no substantial changes have been made to the specified products. Further information can be obtained from your local Freyssinet Agent. ‘There is a large amount of other detailed technical literature — such as specific data sheets, special applications for 13 mm diameter strand, or smaller units — which may be made available, eae food 1Features The C range multistrand system possesses the following main features and characteristics: Versatility The system is designed fora large range of applications with the some type of anchorages * use ofall internationally available sizes ond grades of 15 mm stronds, including galvanized ond unbonded strand * pplication to internal and external presresing = removable, = removable and adjustable, ~ removable, adjustable and detensionable. & Compactness Very compact anchorages diffuse better the prestressing forces into the concrete, allowing for a more efficient design by: + reducing web thicknesses in beams and box girder, blisters cond ribs; + allowing foro concentration of anchorages atthe end zones; + reduction of the dimensions of prestessing anchor blocks, with minimum stond deviations. Bl Lightweight jacking equipment The lightweight compact and automatic C jacks allow for: + ca reduction ofthe prstressing anchorage recesses thanks othe compoct jack noses; * reduced distonces to walls leading to the reduction of the porasiic moments and therefore ofthe required reinforcement, tenabling cn easier placing of concrete; '* improving the site conditions, such as handling and stressing, age En)Prestressing steel The table below gives the main characteristics of the most common strands which may be used with the C range: os see ae Nominal eine Proof Maximum initial force" i sess Sends | | Same | | eet | ott. | Bend? kee bari Nin _| mm |__| km | IN WN preN 101983 | __170 16 wo | 170 [6s [28 | ions | 2052 1855 [41 700 ib 1860 16 10 [1 [| 0 | aonas | 216 1953 43 903 ib 85 1770 157. 150 1180 265. 225 191.25 202.5 185.5 (41 700 if) sevstgo | raz | ts2_ | tas | 125 | 300 | 255 | 21675 | 209s 210 (47208) aS tao | isz [wo | 102 [207 | aaa6 | 19550 | 2005 1825 AAN6-960 | [270 kpsi} | (0.6 in) | (0.217 in’) | (0.74 th/f) | ($8 600 thf | [52 740 tb) | [43 950 fol | (46 870 lof) (41 026 tf) num iil fore the characteris «of maximum loos tranfe om he jock to he Sendon ot: for ale 0175 fond 0.85 fl, the maxim rl > 45%, ion 1 000 hours un Range Tendon Schedule Tendon Type of srond size PrEN ond BS" PrEN 101383 BS 5896-80 ASIN AA16-96 1770 rode 1 860 grade 1.820 grade, drawn sirond 0.6" 270 grodo umber | sted steel steel of | area | mast | UTS moss | UTS | area | moss | UIS | area | mos | UTS strands | _mm®_| kg/m | _kN ‘kg/m |_4N_| mm _| kg/m | kN | mm | kg/m |_ IN 3 450 | 354 [795 354] 7] 495 | 389 | 900 420 | 3.306[ 782 4 400 | 472 | 1.060 472| in6| 460 | 518 | 1200[ 500 | al | 1049 7 | 1050 | 6.26 | 7055 8.26 [1953 [1155 [9.07 | 2100 | 900 | 771 [1625 ‘steel ‘rea ma 450 600. 1.050, 9 | 1350 | 10.62 | 2985 | 1350 | 10.62 | 2511 | 1485 | 11.66 | 2700 | 1260 | 9.92 | 2346 1800 | 14.16 | 3180 | 1800 | 1416 | 3348 | 1980 | 1554 | 3600| 1680 | 1322 | 3128 1950 | 15.34 | 3445 | 1950 | 15.34 | 3627 | 2145 | 1684 | 3900] 1820 | 1433 | 3389 2850 3300 3750 4050 4650 5550 8.250 2950 | 2242 | 5035 22.42 | 5301 | 3135 | 2461 | 5700 | 2660 | 20.94 | 4953 3300 | 25.96 | 5830 25.96 | 6138 | 3630 | 28.49 | 6600 | 3080 | 2424 | 5735 3780 | 295 [6625 295 | 6975] 4125 | 3238 | 7500 | 3500 | 27.55 | 6518 4050 | 31.86 | 7155 31.86 | 7533 | 4455 | 3497 | 8100 | 3780 | 2975 | 7039 4650 | 36.58 | 8215 3658 | 8649 | 5115 | 40.15 | 9300 | 4340 | 3416 | 8082 5550 | 43.46 | 9805 43.66 | 10323 | 6105 | 47.92 | 11100 | 5180 | 4077 | 9 646 8250 | 649 [14575 649_[ 153945 | 9075 | 71.23 | 16500 | 7700 | 60.61 | 14339 en corezpand 1o BS 589680.

The recommended duct diameters are indicated for each anchorage (see page 5). However, the applicable regulations must be checked against the proposed dimensions. Generally, oment grout is used for corro- sion protection, sometimes wax or grease (ie. in nuclear reactor containment buildings). For certain applications, galvanised steel stip is used * Plastic corrugated Plyduc? sheath, recently developed ond patented by Freyssinet to comply with international standards such as fib and British TR47. It is perfectly cir and watertight. * None, with the potented Ductless Freyssine! system using individuclly sheathed and greased strands directly embedded in the concrete (see page 6). Radius of curvature The radius of curvature of the duct shall be a least equal fo: ~ 100 Q; for semi-rigid corrugated steel-strip sheaths; ~3 m for coilable steep-srip sheaths and rig steel pipes. Exceptionally the radius can be reduced to 20 for rigid steel pipes as long as = the sirength of the presiressing steel never exceeds 0.7 Ferg the tendon zone where the radius is less than 3 m; = the tendon’s total deviation angle is less than 3x/2 radians; ~ the high curvature zone is considered as a fixed anchorage if the deviation is greated than /2 radians. {(@ = intornal diameter of the duct) Particular case : In case lubricated sheaths (LFC Freysine) are used and/or special fight sheaths, it is possible to reduce o semi-rigid corrugated sheath’s curvature rods, while maintaining a cored ransmission of the presiressing srengih, The lower limi of he curvature radius is then Ryn 2 1.35 Va, n being the tendon’s number of strands.

Corrugated steel or plastic ducts are the most common (see page 4) For external prestressing, the most commonly used ducls are steel tubes inside the concrete and HOPE pipes outside the concrete (see page 4). The cable is generally placed by pushing each strand into the duct from one end, Freyssinet was a pioneer in promoting and developing ths tech- nique on the early 70's, and con provide advanced pushing equipment ond fitings ‘A patented high speed, 4 head pushing machine has been developed for use in large projects. With this machine, its pos sible o thread 1, 2, 3 oF 4 strands at « time.

Freyssinet can supply all the necessary equipment to ensure thorough cor- rosion protection is achieved. Some special cases require special attention: pec @ External prestressing with cement grout The pressure resisionce of the ducts must be checked before grouting. This is achieved using compressed air; checking the lightness with woter is prohibited. § Grouting of System N°2 tendons In this case, the role of the grout is to constitute a spacer to prevent the plastic sheath surrounding the strand from being damaged in the contact zones belween strands, due to curvature reactions. Some properties of the grout such as mechanical strength (10 N/mm: is sufficient forthe spacing role required) and shrinkage play only @ secondary role, The grouting takes place before stressing Vacuum grouting Freyssnet was a pioneer ofthe vacuum grouting technique. This has been used and perfec by our Group for more than twenty years Is especially suitable for large projets wih dfcut conditions 1 Ductless System In this system, tendons consisting of sheathed and greased strands embedded in the concrete of the structure, do nol require Tables below indicate the quantity of grout in litre/m (a provision for losses should be added) C range internal Number of strands 3 4 Z x 12. 13 19. 2 7. 7 55 rout /m | sheath* diameter A 45 3 2 2 34 “Shoe C range external N° yout I/m | sheath** diameter 3 1.22 Number of strands Z 12 9 22 25 7 31 7 55. oe C range external N°2 Number of strands sheath** diameter & rout I/m 2.26 3 3% ‘1 1 4, 12: 14 4 1 “HOPE Flat F anchorages grouting, Number of strands | grout I/m | sheath* dimensions| eae 3 0.71 3B x 20 @ Wax injection 4 10.99 0 5 [1.05 90 x 20 The tendons may also be injected with petroleum wax when = specified by the consultant (for example, to check the tension “Se = cer « number of years or to protect temporary tes). ‘Al heoh dimesins nm. 20 ee =Front Cover: Togus Bridge - Portugal (ahoto: Vigourou). a en en ene ee ee Pee erence) 16: Hibernia Oil Platform - Canada (photo: Balave),p.17: Veicbren Viaduct - France (photo: Ph.
