Introduction
How prestressing force transmitted to concrete?
- Pretensioned : transmitted by an internal force system through
bond between steel and concrete
- Post-tensioned : through external anchorage system
The zone within which the applied prestressing force on steel
is fully dissipated in to concrete and made to act as a
distributed force is known as transmission zone in
pretensioned element and anchor zone in post-tensioned
elements.

Introduction
In post-tensioned construction, the prestressing force is
transferred to the concrete through relatively small anchorage
plates behind the anchorage by bearing. This results in a very
high concrete bearing stress behind the anchorage plate.
Failure of anchorage zone is perhaps the most common cause
of problems arising during construction
Such failures are difficult and expensive to repair and might
require replacement of the entire member.
Introduction
Anchorage zones failure due to uncontrolled cracking or
splitting of the concrete from insufficient transverse
reinforcement.
Bearing failures immediately behind the anchorage plate
are also common and may be caused by inadequate
dimensions of bearing plates or poor quality of concrete.

Stress Distribution
The prestressing force in a tendon is applied through the
anchorages as a concentrated force.
By St Venants principle, the stress distribution in a member is
reasonably uniform away from the anchorage, but in the
region of the anchorage itself the stress distribution within the
concrete is complex.
The most significant effect for design is that the tensile stresses
are set up transverse to the axis of the member, tending to
split this concrete apart. This tensile force also known as
b i force.

Reinforcement must be provided to resist these tensile
stresses.
