Area of Prestressing Steel given Settling Length Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Steel Area in Prestress = 0.5*Prestress Drop*Settling Length/(Slip of Anchorage*Modulus of Elasticity of Steel Reinforcement)
A_p = 0.5*Δf_p*l_set/(Δ*E_s)
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Steel Area in Prestress - (Measured in Square Millimeter) - Steel Area in Prestress is the total cross sectional area of tendons.
Prestress Drop - (Measured in Megapascal) - Prestress Drop is the drop in applied prestress force due to strain in tendons.
Settling Length - (Measured in Millimeter) - Settling Length is the length where the effect of anchorage friction is absent.
Slip of Anchorage - (Measured in Millimeter) - Slip of Anchorage is the distance by which the anchorage gets slipped when the force is transmitted from anchorage to tendon.
Modulus of Elasticity of Steel Reinforcement - (Measured in Megapascal) - Modulus of Elasticity of Steel Reinforcement is a measure of its stiffness.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Prestress Drop: 10 Megapascal --> 10 Megapascal No Conversion Required

Prestressing Force after Immediate Loss when Reverse Friction Effect is Considered

LaTeX Go Prestressing force after Immediate Losses = (Prestress Force at a Distance/(exp(Simplified Term*Distance from Left End)))+Prestress Drop

Prestressing Force at distance x when Reverse Friction is Considered

LaTeX Go Prestress Force at a Distance = (Prestressing force after Immediate Losses-Prestress Drop)*exp(Simplified Term*Distance from Left End)

Loss of Prestress due to Slip

LaTeX Go Prestressing Force = Tendon Area*(Modulus of Elasticity of Steel Reinforcement*Slip of Anchorage)/Cable Length

Slip of Anchorage

LaTeX Go Slip of Anchorage = Prestressing Force*Cable Length/(Tendon Area*Modulus of Elasticity of Steel Reinforcement)

Area of Prestressing Steel given Settling Length Formula

LaTeX Go

Steel Area in Prestress = 0.5*Prestress Drop*Settling Length/(Slip of Anchorage*Modulus of Elasticity of Steel Reinforcement)
A_p = 0.5*Δf_p*l_set/(Δ*E_s)

What is Settling Length?

Due to the setting of the anchorage block, as the tendon shortens, there is a reverse
friction. Hence, the effect of anchorage slip is present up to a certain length. This length is referred as settling length (lset). Beyond settling length, the effect is absent.

What is the cause of wobbling losses in post tensioned tendons?

At the initial stage, major factors affecting prestress losses are friction loss, anchorage slip, and elastic shortening of the concrete. Friction losses may consist of both intended curvature of the tendons (that is curvature friction) and unintended misalignment of the tendons (that is wobble friction).
