E.2.1 Bonded Internal Prestressing for Concrete Structures
Internal prestressing units bonded to the concrete consist of bare strands in a thin-wall
corrugated duct made of steel (see G.2.1), plastic (see G.2.2) or smooth steel pipes (see G.2.3)
and injected with a cement grout in accordance with EN 447 or Annex C4 of ETAG013.
E.2.2 Unbonded Internal Prestressing for Concrete Structures
Unbonded internal prestressing tendons consist of one of the following types:
W units: tensile elements housed in a steel or plastic duct injected with a soft filling
material,
FREYSSINET PRESTRESSING SYSTEM EUROPEAN TECHNICAL APPROVAL
English translation 2006.12.08
21/50
GI units: tensile elements made of monostrands. Outside the anchorage zones,
monostrands are either placed in a round or flat duct injected with cement grout prior to
tensioning or installed directly in the structure, in accordance with design requirements.
Unbonded internal prestressing tendons allow re-stressing and the steel part of tensile
elements is replaceable.
A n C 15 W anchorages can be used to make electrically isolated prestressing tendons if the
measures described in paragraph E.2.4 have been taken.
E.2.3 External Prestressing for Concrete Structures
Other than in exceptional circumstances, external prestressing tendons are replaceable and re-
stressable, and are one of the following types:
Standard type: with double tube where the tendon passes through the concrete of the
structure, to ensure the independence of the tensile element and its duct from the
structure and to enable extraction. The duct is injected with cement grout.
Type W: with a duct injected with a flexible corrosion-inhibiting product enabling the
tensile element to be extracted.
Type GI: with monostrands housed in a general duct injected or not with cement grout
before tensioning.
AD n C 15 anchorages can be used to make electrically isolated prestressing tendons if the
measures described in paragraph E.2.4 have been taken.
E.2.3.1 Standard Tendons
Tensile elements are housed in a continuous HDPE plain tube. At anchorages the trumplates
are fitted with a plastic trumpet welded to the tube. A watertight gasket between the two parts
allows dismantling.
Where tendons pass through concrete a double casing is realised by means of a second tube
used as a concrete formwork which ensures the independence of the HDPE tube from the
concrete.
The corresponding anchorages are coded AD n C 15.
E.2.3.2 GI Tendons
Tensile elements consist of monostrands grouped together in a plastic duct, injected or not
with cement grout prior to tensioning. The anchorage head is protected by a permanent cap
filled either with a soft corrosion protection material fully compatible with that of
monostrands or injected with cement grout.
The corresponding anchorages are coded AD n C 15 GI.
E.2.3.3 W Tendons
Tensile elements are housed in a continuous HDPE plain tube. At the anchorages, the
trumplates are fitted with a plastic trumpet welded to the tube. A watertight gasket between
the two parts allows dismantling. Double tubing is not necessary to ensure dismantling.
FREYSSINET PRESTRESSING SYSTEM EUROPEAN TECHNICAL APPROVAL
English translation 2006.12.08
22/50
After tensioning, the tendon is injected with a soft corrosion protection material, such as a
microcristaline petroleum wax. The anchorage head is protected by a permanent cap which
allows the injection of the tendon.
The corresponding anchorages are coded AD n C 15 W.
E.2.3.4 Non-Replaceable External Prestressing Tendons
In this exceptional case, external prestressing tendons consist of anchorages identical to those
used for bonded internal prestressing tendons. Thin-wall corrugated ducts are prohibited in all
exposed sections of tendon. Steel tubes may be used for sections embedded in concrete.
The corresponding anchorages are coded A n C 15.
E.2.4 Common Application Options
Model C internal prestressing anchorages can be used to make prestressing tendons for
cryogenic applications.
Freyssinet prestressing anchorages can be used to make prestressing tendons with a watertight
casing when used with a watertight plastic duct, a permanent cap to cover the anchorage head
and watertight connections between each section of the casing.
Model C anchorages can be used to make electrically isolated prestressing tendons. These
tendons consist then of strands housed in an electrically isolating plastic casing comprising in
particular:
a plastic trumpet fitted inside the trumplate,
a bearing plate made out of an electrically isolating composite material placed under
the anchor block,
a plastic cap.

E.2.5 External Prestressing for Steel Structures and Composite Structures
Model C anchorages are used in the case of steel structures, without the standard load-
spreading component (trumplate) which is replaced by a bearing plate of a size in accordance
with the strength of the steel of the structure (see EN 1993 and EN 1994).
E.2.6 Prestressing for Masonry Structures

spreading component (trumplate) which is replaced by a bearing plate of a size in accordance
with the strength of the masonry of the structure (see EN 1996).
E.2.7 Prestressing for Timber Structures
Model C anchorages are used in the case of timber structures, without the standard load-
spreading component (trumplate) which is replaced by a bearing plate of a size in accordance
with the strength of the timber of the structure (see EN 1995).
1 F anchorages can be used for timber structures if adequately embedded by means of epoxy
resin.

E.3 PARTICULARITIES OF THE KIT
E.3.1 Possibility of individual tensioning strand by strand
In the case of stressing anchorages for units comprising monostrands, the strands may be
tensioned either collectively with a multistrand jack, or individually with a monostrand jack,
proceeding in several loading stages, if cement grouted before tensioning.
E.3.2 Measurement of friction coefficient and load transfer percentage from stressing
end to the other
This operation is possible whenever tensioning from both ends is possible.
E.3.3 Adjustment of prestressing load
In the case of prestressing tendons with monostrands (type GI) or injected with a flexible
filling product (type W), it is possible to adjust the prestressing load at any time during
service life if tendon overlengths have been maintained. The overlengths are protected by an
adequately long protection cap.
E.3.4 Possibility of monitoring prestressing load
When an A n C15(or C13) or AD n C15(or C13) anchorage uses a threaded block, the load
in the tensile element can be monitored with a special ring jack installed between the anchor
block threaded ring and the anchorage trumplate.
E.3.5 Possibility of detensioning
A non-grouted tendon can be detensioned with a monostrand jack and a detensioning stool if
the strand overlengths have not been cut off.
If the strands have been cut off, the tendon can only be detensioned by heating the wedges
with a blow torch, one by one. Special precautions must be taken at the other end to contain
any strand expulsion within special protective systems.
E.3.6 Possibility of re-threading a new tendon after detensioning
Once detensioning has been performed as described in paragraph E.3.5, and on condition that
both ends can be easily accessed, a tendon can be replaced without demolishing.
In the case of tendons with type CI couplers, this operation is possible only for the primary
part of the tendon, before concreting of the secondary part.
When the prestressing tendon consists of monostrands, each strand can be replaced by a
strand of the same sectional area if the alignment of the tensile element is straight or slightly
deviated, and by a strand of smaller sectional area in other cases. When a new strand is
threaded in, a protective product of the same quality as that of the strand replaced must be
introduced into the individual sheath left in place.
FREYSSINET PRESTRESSING SYSTEM EUROPEAN TECHNICAL APPROVAL
English translation 2006.12.08
25/50
E.3.7 Prestressing tendon allowing for load monitoring, retensioning, and replacement
without damage to the duct
An unbonded prestressing tendon is fitted with a model C anchorage with standard wedges
extended by a clamping length mounted on a common retaining plate (drawing 1). The entire
tendon is retensioned after pulling on the overlength and inserting a special bearing ring
adapted to the jack. Detensioning is made possible by the wedge-retaining plate which
prevents wedge assemblies being pulled back into the anchorage when the tendon is
detensioned. Strand overlengths are retained (jack gripping length plus any elongation) and
are protected by a special long cap injected with flexible filling material (drawing 33).
E.3.8 Temporary or permanent caps
Caps can be fitted to anchorage types A, AD and NB.
E.3.9 Equitension
In the case of a prestressing unit with model C anchorages, when it is to be ensured that the
initial length of each strand is the same prior to tensioning, a pre-tensioning operation can be
carried out with the equitension jack. It has as many tensioning chambers as there are strands
to be tensioned, and takes up any slack in the strands individually.
E.4 FORCES OF PRESTRESSING TENDONS
Maximum forces beneath the anchorage during tensioning, F
0
, must be taken from standards
or regulations in place of use. Values shown in the following table, comply French regulations
which are identical to the values recommended by Eurocode2.
The number of strands in a tendon may be decreased either by reducing the number of drilled
holes in the anchor block (special order to factory) or by leaving out strands in the anchorages
or couplers. In both cases the strands are placed in the best possible symmetrical manner. The
provisions for tendons with completely filled anchorages and couplers also apply to partially
filled ones.

F ANCHORAGES
Freyssinet active anchorages are based on the wedge principle and use the Freyssinet C-
wedge. Each wedge is anchored in a conical hole of the anchor head, which is either a steel
block for anchorage models C, or a cast iron part for strand couplers and for anchorage
models F and X. Depending on situations, the anchorage block seats on a cast iron load
spreading part, called trumplate, or on a steel plate for structures other than concrete ones, the
dimensions of which depend of the strength of the structure.

F.1 DESCRIPTION OF ANCHORAGE COMPONENTS
Main dimensions are given on the drawings in Annex K.
F.1.1 Anchorage Wedge
The Freyssinet anchor wedge is a conical one-use wedge, consisting of three matching
wedges held together by a circlip. Two models of wedges are available:
- the C13 wedge used with T13 and T13S strands,
- the C15 wedge used with T15 and T15S strands.
Its internal diametre is adapted to the strand diameter class: either T15/T15S (C15 wedge), or
T13/T13S (C13 wedge).
Anchorage wedges are precision machined from hot-rolled or cold-drawn rods of cement steel
defined by reference to standard EN 10084 and are case hardened. The steel grade is
16MnCr5.
F.1.2 Anchorage Swage
Internal fixed anchorages are made with anchor swages made by swaging a tubular section
enclosing a spiral spring onto each strand using a special Freyssinet jack. There are two
standard versions and a compact version:
- T13D swage is used with T13 and T13S strands
- T15D swage is used with T15 and T15S strands
- T15DC compact swage is used with T15 and T15S strands.
Swages are turned from hot-rolled bars of tempered and quenched structural alloy steel
defined in reference to standard EN 10083-1. The used grades are 34CrMo4 and 36CrNiMo4.
F.1.3 Steel Anchor Blocks
F.1.3.1 Model C Anchor Blocks
Model C anchorage heads are circular steel blocks with conical holes cut out of hot-rolled
bars. These anchorage blocks have a strength class determined by the nominal ultimate tensile
strength 650 MPa.
It is made from a non-alloy quenched and tempered structural steel, defined by reference to
standard EN 10083-1 (C45).
Note 1: electrically isolated anchorages may be made with blocks of larger dimensions than
the standard blocks in order to reduce compressive stress on the electrical isolation plate .
Note 2: blocks for type NB embedded anchorages are made with cylindrical holes.
Note 3: when an external thread is necessary for monitoring prestressing load, the anchor
block shall have a larger diameter in order to cut the thread outside the original anchor block
size.
FREYSSINET PRESTRESSING SYSTEM EUROPEAN TECHNICAL APPROVAL
English translation 2006.12.08
28/50
F.1.4 Castings for Anchorages
F.1.4.1 Model F and X Anchorages
The bodies of model F and X anchorages are made of spheroidal graphite cast iron defined by
reference to standard EN 1563. The grade is EN-GJS-500-7.
F.1.4.2 Individual strand connectors type P
The body of the type P strand connector is made of bainitic spheroidal graphite cast iron
defined by reference to standard EN 1564. The grade is EN-GJS-1000-5.
F.1.4.3 Load Spreading Parts or Trumplates
The trumplates of type NB n C15 (or C13), CI n C15 (or C13) and C n C15 (or C13)
anchorages are identical to those of type A n C15 anchorages. Trumplates of type
AD n C15 (or C13) differ from those of type A n C15 (or C13) anchorages only in their
internal shape which allows for placement of a plastic trumpet and a seal.
Trumplates are castings of:
- grey cast iron defined in reference to standard EN 1561, for C Models up to size 13C15;
the grade is EN-GJL-250; or
- spheroidal graphite cast iron defined in reference to standard EN 1563 above size 13C15;
grade is EN-GJS-500-7.
F.1.4.4 Model C Anchorage Caps
Anchorage caps are generally castings of:
- grey cast iron defined in reference to standard EN 1561; the most commonly used grade is
EN-GJL-250; or
- spheroidal graphite cast iron defined in reference to standard EN 1563; the most
commonly used grade is EN-GJS-400-15.
F.1.5 Conditioning and Temporary Corrosion Protection
Except for anchorage wedges, all uncoated components are packaged in sealed containers, are
rust-free and slightly oiled.
Anchorage wedges are packaged in white buckets. They are suitably protected against
oxidation. The buckets containing type C15 wedges are colour-coded differently to those of
type C13 wedges.
Optionally, the following reinforced corrosion protection is available:
- the anchor blocks of model C anchorages may be corrosion protected by bichromate and
zinc treatment in accordance with standard EN 12329, except for the wedge housings;
- the cast-iron anchorage components of model F and X anchorages and the trumplates of
model C anchorages may be zinc coated to a thickness of at least 70 m by the hot-dip
process in accordance with standard EN ISO 1461, except for the wedge housings;
- the cast-iron anchorage component of the model X anchorage may be coated with
polyamide, except for the wedge housings.

F.1.6 Characteristics of Plastic Parts
F.1.6.1 Plastic Trumpets
Type AD n C15 (or C13) external-prestressing anchorages are fitted with polyethylene (PE)
trumplates.
F.1.6.2 Electrical Isolation Plates
Electrically isolated anchorages are fitted with an electrical isolation plate between the
anchorage block and the trumplate. The plate is generally a glass-reinforced thermosetting
resin.
F.1.6.3 Plastic Caps
Plastics caps are made from polyolefin.
F.2 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE OF ANCHORAGES
Regulations valid at place of use shall be considered.
Bursting steel is fixed to general reinforcing bars at locations given in this ETA.
Tightness at connection between anchorage and duct if realised either by adhesive tape or
heat-shrink sleeves. For F anchorage models used with monostrands the sealing between
anchorage and monostrands is realised by means of a mastic plug.
F.2.1 Stressing Anchorages
Size of anchorage reservation and clearance for placing the stressing jack should be checked
at the design stage (see drawings 34 to 44).
F.2.2 Model X Anchorages
Loop tendons are stressed simultaneously at both ends by means of single-strand jacks (see
drawings 45 and 46).
F.2.3 Anchorages for External Prestressing
Exchangeable external prestressing tendons injected with cement grout are realised by means
of a double duct at deviation or anchoring points :
A minimum gap of 10mm between the two ducts is required.
External shuttering tube, generally out of steel,
Tendon duct, continuous between anchorages (see drawing 14)
FREYSSINET PRESTRESSING SYSTEM EUROPEAN TECHNICAL APPROVAL
English translation 2006.12.08
30/50
F.2.4 Embedded Fixed Anchorages Model NB
Model NB n C 15 anchorages consist of an anchor block with cylindrical holes and swages.
Type T13D swage is used for T13 and T13S strands, and type T15DC for T15 and T15S
strands.
Swages are realised before concreting and maintained in position with a locking template.
F.2.5 Fixed Couplers
The prestressing force of the secondary tendon at the coupler shall not exceed that of the
primary cable.
F.2.5.1 Multi-Strand Couplers Model CI with Type P Strand connectors
The secondary cable is connected to the primary cable by means of type P strand connectors.
The complete assembly is covered with an overall cap :
at one end the cap is fixed to the primary trumplate. A flexible seal provides
watertightness during concreting and grouting and eliminates possible effort transfer through
the cap during tensioning of the coupled secondary tendon.
at the other end the cap is formed as a trumpet to allow its connection to the second phase
cable duct.
F.2.6 Movable Couplers Model CM with Type P Strand connectors
Each strand of the primary cable is connected to the corresponding srand of the secondary
cable by means of a type P strand connector. The complet assembly is covered with a cap
ensuring the same functions as the one for fixed couplers. This cap must allow for the
elongation of first phase cable and the resulting displacement of strand connectors. In
practice, the cap length is therefore adapted to each case.
F.2.7 Case of Monostrands
When directly embedded in the concrete structure, without overall duct, monostrands are
fixed on supports arranged within the general steel reinforcement. In case of large cable units
exceeding 6 monostrands, monostrands should be arranged in groups of 3, the distance
between each of them being sufficient to allow a correct concreting (see drawing 13).
When monostrands are placed in a general duct (see drawings 10 to 12), the duct is injected
with cement grout and tensioning is done after the grout has reached a strength of 10 MPa.
When multi-strand anchorages are used, the precise arrangement of strands in the anchor zone
during concreting or injection of duct is secured by the use of a temporary stuffing box
(drawing 32). After removal of the stuffing box, ends of strands are freed from their sheath to
receive the anchor block, to be stressed and injected by grease under pressure.

F.2.8 Electrically Isolated Tendons
The envelope of electrically isolated tendons consists of plastic ducts with thermo-shrink PE
connections. In particular multi-strand fixed couplers type CI n C 15 EI and movable
couplers type CM n C 15 EI are isolated in a PE or PP cap. An isolating plate is inserted
between the trumplate and the anchor block before stressing.
G TENSILE ELEMENTS AND DUCTS
G.1 TENSILE ELEMENTS
In absence of European standards on prestressing steel, strands complying with national
provisions and with characteristics given in G.1.1 and table 6 shall be used.
G.1.1 Standard Designation of Strands
Tensile elements consist of:
Either strands with nominal diametre 12,5 mm or 12,9 mm, tensile strength 1770 MPa
or 1860 MPa, designated respectively Y1770 (or Y1860) S7 12,5 (or 12,9) in the
European standard prEN 10138-3, and hereafter named T13 or T13S or more simply
T13,
or strands with nominal diametre 15,3 mm or 15,7 mm, tensile strength 1770 MPa or
1860 MPa, designated respectively Y1770 (or Y1860) S7 15,3 (or 15,7) in the
European standard prEN 10138-3, and hereafter named T15 or T15S or more simply
T15.
These strands may also be ordered according to national standards applicable in the country
concerned, e.g in France to XPA 35-045-3 standard for bare strands.
Monostrands are covered in France by the XP A 35-037 standard, and designated by S 12,5
(or 12,9 or 15,3 or 15,7) 1770 (or 1820 or 1860) A + (Z or ZA) + G + P. The G attribute
means protection with grease and P means sliding, i.e. the strand is free to slide in its
individual sheath, even embedded in concrete, allowing for its stressing without any bond to
the concrete of the structure.
G.1.2 Maximum Force in Strand
The maximum stressing force F
0
at anchorage indicated in the following table for a single
strand has been calculated in accordance with Eurocode 2. It must be adapted to the
applicable national regulations.

G.2 DUCTS
The Freyssinet prestressing kit for post-tensioning may be used with different types of duct
depending the project and the use categories of tendons.
The typical internal diametre of ducts is defined on the drawings in Annex K for each
anchorage model, which may be increased if required by the project specifications or the
national regulations. In the case of prefabricated cables threaded in one operation, the duct
internal diametre may be increased in sections with large deviation curvature to facilitate
threading.
G.2.1 Steel Strip Sheaths
Steel strip sheaths are either circular or oval, generally corrugated to ensure a mechanical
bond with the concrete. The overall external dimensions of steel strip sheaths are about 6 mm
larger than the internal dimensions because of corrugation. This must be taken into account in
the design.

G.2.1.1 Circular Steel Strip Sheaths
Sheaths are purchased according to prEN 523 standard. There are two categories of sheath:
normal or reelable category 1 sheath and rigid category 2 sheath. Rigid sheath reduces
the wobble effect and is stronger, but is less easy to shape (curve) by hand.

Table 7. Thickness of Steel Strip Sheaths
Sheath sections are connected together with helical sleeves screwed onto the ends of the
sheaths. The watertightness at connections is obtained by adhesive tape or heat-shrink sleeves.
G.2.1.2 Oval Steel Strip Sheaths
Model F tendons are generally used together with oval or so-called flat sheaths. These are
oblong sheaths with a stiffening corrugation. Lengths of duct are connected by use of sleeves
of the same shape. The watertightness at connections is obtained by adhesive tape or heat-
shrink sleeves.
G.2.1.3 Option: Galvanisation
On request and if allowed by the applicable national regulations, the sheaths may be hot-dip
galvanised or zinc-plated.
G.2.1.4 Option: Factory-applied LFC Lubrication (Low Friction Coefficient)
On request, crimped sheaths may be made out of soap-lined phosphated steel strip in order to
reduce the friction coefficient between strands and duct during tensioning.
G.2.2 Corrugated Plastic Ducts
Plastics ducts may be of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or polypropylene (PP). They
conform Appendix C.3 of ETAG 013 and meet the requirements of fib technical bulletin
Corrugated plastic ducts for internal bonded post-tensioning.
The ducts may be circular or flat, but are always corrugated to ensure a bond with the
concrete. The overall outer dimensions of a corrugated plastic duct are about 13 mm larger
than its internal dimensions because of corrugation. This must be taken into account in the
design.
Plastics ducts are sensitive to wear induced by movement of the strands in the duct during
tensioning. Duct thickness is selected in accordance with the severity of the tendon alignment
(total length and radii of curvature).
Special precautions must be taken if the temperature of the surrounding concrete is likely to
exceed 60C during setting or if the external pressure is likely to exceed 0,5 bar.

G.3 CABLE LAY-OUT
G.3.1 Alignment at Anchorage
Close to anchorages the duct must guide the tensile element so that its strands bear against the
deviation zone of the trumplate and enter the holes in the anchorage head at the correct angle:
in practice the cable lay-out must be straight on a length of at least 6 times the duct internal
diametre, between the trumplate end and the start of the curved section.

- the resulting radius is not less than 1,1 m for T13 strands and 1,3 m for T15 strands,
- the tensile stress does not exceed 70% of strand guaranteed tensile strength where the
radius is less than 3,0 m,
- the sum of angular deviations along the cable is less than 3/2 radians,
- the sharply curved zone is considered as a dead anchorage if the angular deviation exceeds
/2 radians.

* : according to ENV 1992-1-5:1994
Table 10. Minimum Curvature Radius for External Prestressing
G.3.3 Support Distances and Tolerances
The maximum distance between duct supports is 1,0 m for straight sections or with high
curvature radius and 0,5 m for sections with small radius. In the case of smooth steel pipes, at
least one support at each elementary length shall be placed but the distance shall not exceed
3 m.
Any axial thrust along the pipe must be balanced by appropriate arrangements at the bottom
of the formwork. Similarly, the spacing of supports and the attachment of the duct must take
account of the buoyancy effect in fresh concrete.
Flat ducts are more sensitive to accidental crushing before tendon threading than circular
ducts. For this reason the tendons should be threaded into the duct before concreting. If it is
not possible to thread the tendons before concreting, measures must be taken to protect the
duct from crushing, or the ducts must be threaded with temporary dummy strands which
will be removed before the real tendons are threaded.
When ducts cross over each other in layers, contact between ducts should be avoided, and it
may be advisable to strengthen the area of intersection with a half-sleeve in order to prevent
any risk of communication between ducts during cement grouting.
In the case of corrugated plastic sheaths, a plastic half-shell must be placed between the duct
and its support in all areas where tendon is deviated.
For monostrands directly incorporated in concrete, sheath punching at support must be
checked.
The tolerance on the position of tendons in concrete parts must meet the requirements of draft
standard ENV 13670-1. Special attention must be given to tendon breakout induced by
deviated cables near an outside surface: the local positioning tolerance will have to be
determined in accordance with the lay-out of the passive reinforcement.

Freyssinet equipment is covered by an EC declaration of conformity for new or rental
equipment.
Clearance for jacks at tensioning end must be made available in accordance with drawings 34
to 46. This clearance must remain available during service life of the structure if force
adjustment, load monitoring or replacement of tendon has been foreseen.
H.2 PARTICULAR RECOMMENDATIONS
H.2.1 Tendons with Couplers
Tensioning of secondary cables shall be such as to avoid the force at coupler end to exceed
that of the primary cables after blocking.
H.3 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR TENSIONING AND CONTROL
H.3.1 General Method for Tensioning
Tensioning is done in accordance with the Freyssinet procedures, the specifications of
ETAG 013, CWA 14646, ENV 13670-1 and applicable national regulations.

I PROTECTION OF TENDONS
I.1 LUBRICATION AND TEMPORARY PROTECTION
Temporary protection of tensile elements is obtained by factory-applied soluble oil.
If storage of strands on site is longer or if tendon injection cannot be done in due time after
tensioning (delay exceeding four weeks), this temporary protection must be regularly
renewed, in conformity with applicable specifications. This lubrication may also be used to
reduce friction coefficient of cable inside duct.
I.2 FILLING MATERIALS USED
I.2.1 Cement Grout
Cement grout is a stable, uniform mix of Portland cement, additives and water obtained by a
mechanical mixing process. It is screened and kept agitated in a storage tank until injected
into the duct.
Freyssinet prestressing tendons can be injected with:
either a common grout complying with the requirements of European standards
EN 447 (requirements for common grout) and EN 445 (test methods). The grout
setting can be retarded to provide a longer groutability,
or a special grout, as per the requirements of paragraph C.4.3 of ETAG 013.
I.2.2 Wax
The wax for injecting prestressing tendons shall be a petroleum wax meeting the requirements
of paragraph C.4.2 of ETAG 013.
I.2.3 Grease
The grease for Freyssinet prestressing tendons shall be a mineral-oil-based grease meeting the
requirements of paragraph C.4.1 of ETAG 013.
I.3 INJECTION EQUIPMENT
Mixers, wax melting units, and pumps supplied by Freyssinet for injecting tendons are all
subject to an EC declaration of conformity with the applicable regulations governing new or
rented equipment.

J.3 BURSTING REINFORCEMENT
In anchorage zone prestressing tendons impose to the structure concentrated forces requiring a
specific arrangement of reinforcement. In case of concrete structures, bursting reinforcement
consists in:
Surface reinforcement,
Anchorage bursting reinforcement,
General reinforcement to equilibrate mechanically the concerned piece within the
structure, the dimensions of which result from the design rules of reinforced concrete.
Anchorage bursting reinforcement as defined thereunder results from load transfer testing. If
required the local zone reinforcement specified in the ETA may be modified for a specific
project design in accordance with national regulations and relevant approval of the local
authorities and of the ETA holder to provide equivalent performance.
