Description / Abstract:
Recommendations pertinent to design with single-strand unbonded tendons considered in this report include the design of slabs, beams, and continuous members; details and properties of tendons and anchors; and protection from corrosion during construction and throughout the life of the structure.
The recommendations in this report are not intended for unbonded construction stages of elements using bonded tendons; for multistrand unbonded tendons used as external tendons; for members subject to direct tension, such as tiebacks, cable stays, arch ties, or circumferential tendons for containment structures; or for ground-supported posttensioned slabs for light residential construction.
