INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING PSLoss SPREADSHEET

Spreadsheet functionality: Computes friction and anchor set losses in prestressing tendon Computes tendon elongations Developes tendon vertical and horizontal profiles Calculates equivalent beam loads due to post-tensioning Capabilities: Pulling from one or both ends Multiple angle changes in three-dimensional tendon profile SI and US measurement systems US and international codes Instruction for data input All input cells in the spreadsheet are formatted as a blue text on yellow background The custom toolbar menu provides the following functions: Calculate ! Tendon Profile PT Losses Equivalent Loads Theory/Help Design Units Disclaimer PSLoss Step by Step 1. Open 'Tendon Profile' worksheet (use menu Tendon Profile - Edit or click on 'Profile' tab below). 2. Establish tendon vertical profile built out of parabolic or tangent segments. Provides location of tangent and radial segments of horizontal profile. 3. On the worksheet 'Losses' enter required stressing data and click command 'Calculate !' 4. Print file. Performs iterative calculations necessary to compute prestress losses Activates 'Tendon Profile' worksheet Activates 'Losses' worksheet Activates 'Equivalent Post-Tensioning Loads' worksheet Activates current worksheet Toggles US and SI units Displays PSLoss disclaimer 4.35
