Post-tensioned anchorage zone: A review

Anchorage Zone Stress Mapping using ANSYS

“…Hence, understanding the behavior of the anchorage zone and the amount of force generated to prevent bursting in this section becomes extremely crucial. [5] Following is problem statement selected as shown in figure 3 This block is discretized using 26021 tetrahedral elements with 41437 nodes for performing finite element analysis. [8] To get accurate results, the mesh is kept advance fine with relevance center as shown in figure 4 and 5 And the prestressing force of 200KN magnitude is applied on circular plate as shown in figure 6.…”

Behavior of monostrand anchors in unbonded post tension flat slab system

“…Numerous theories were suggested for determining the 'bursting' resistance of loaded stone blocks via reinforcement. All of these tests demonstrated that once the material's tensile strength is attained, its ultimate failure occurred because the bursting cracks occurred at the same time with ultimate failure [ 1 ].…”

Comparison of Bursting Forces in Concrete Post-Tensioned Beam using Two Modeling Approaches

“…Few scholars have previously attempted to investigate the pattern of stress distribution in the anchorage zone of post-tensioned, concrete member by various methodologies, such as analytical procedures [3]- [6], experimental approaches [7]-[10], and computational techniques [11], [12].…”

“…The existence of the spalling zone was not established by the study. Byung-Wan Jo et al [12] recently evaluated the stresses in the anchorage zone by taking into account the effects of several elements, including cable inclination, anchor plate location, and modelling techniques.…”
