with hole diameters to match the bores of the CERs and FTUs. The CRCRs are marked with the
CCL Logo, TDC (Top Dead Centre), Part Number and Traceability Reference for identification
purposes.
1.2.2.9 Bursting Reinforcement

For each unit of the CCL „XM‟ and „XMC‟ PT System three types of reinforcement can be
employed:
 Helices
 Links
 A combination of Helices and Links*
As the bursting reinforcement cannot compensate for a local defect of filling of the concrete behind
the anchorage, the designer of the structure will have to ensure that the density and the distribution
of the reinforcement in the vicinity of the anchorages allows pouring and adequate compaction of
the concrete whilst maintaining containment of the bursting forces.
If required, the local zone reinforcement specified in the ETA and confirmed in the load transfer
test may be modified for a specific project design in accordance with national regulations and
relevant approval of the local authority and of the ETA holder to provide equivalent performance.
The local anchorage zone bursting reinforcement design rules for the CCL „XM‟ and „XMC‟ PT
System are based on a modified version of the equation proposed by Roberts1.
The design rules were established on the assumption of a single anchorage in a concrete prism
tested in axial compression, with side lengths a and b (where a = b) and specimen height equal to
twice the side length. Testing was carried out with 2 mean compressive concrete strengths; fcm,0 on
cube = 30MPa and 55Mpa for units XM10-100. Additional testing was carried out with 1 mean
compressive concrete strength; fcm,0 on cube = 46MPa for units XM10-80.
A copy of the local anchorage zone bursting reinforcement design rules for the CCL „XM‟ and
„XMC‟ PT System is available from CCL on request.
The minimum bursting reinforcement dimensions for concrete strengths; fcm,0 on cube = 30MPa
and 55MPa for units XM10-100 are shown in Annexes 26 to 30 and for fcm,0 on cube = 46MPa for
units XM10-80 see Annexes 32 & 33.
*Not available for units XM10-80 with concrete strength fcm,0 on cube = 46MPa

The maximum allowable stressing force that can be applied to the tendon immediately prior to lock-
off must be determined in accordance with EN 1992-1.1, with values given in the relevant national
annex for k1 and k2. Values given in the tables below are indicative values respecting
recommended values by EN 1992-1.1 for k1 and k2. Overstressing is permitted if the force in the
jack can be measured to an accuracy of ± 5 % of the final value of the prestressing force. In such
cases the maximum prestressing force Pmax may be increased to k3Fp0,1ks with k3=0.95.
1.2.3.2 Strand Designation

Strand designation is in accordance with European Standard White Draft prEN 10138-3:2006
"Prestressing Steels - Part 3: Strand". For example, prestressing steel strand with a nominal tensile
strength of 1860MPa, 7 wires and a nominal diameter of 15.7mm is designated as “EN10138-3-
Y1860S7-15.7”. Prestressing steel strand with a nominal tensile strength of 1770MPa, 7 wires and
a nominal diameter of 12.9mm is designated as “EN10138-3-Y1770S7-12.9”. In the interest of
simplicity and for the purpose of this document, the various classes of strand will be referred to as
Y(nominal tensile strength)-(nominal diameter), e.g. Y1770-15.2, as the standard prEN 10138-
3:2006 and number of wires in the strand remain constant.

1.2.3.3 Strand Characteristics
The tendons consist of 3-55 7-wire prestressing steel strands, factory-provided with a corrosion
protection system with characteristics in accordance with prEN 10138-3:2006. Some typical
characteristics are provided in Table 5 and Annex 1.
In the absence of European standards for prestressing steel, strands complying with national
provisions and with the characteristics given in Table 5 and Annex 1 shall be used.

1.2.4. CCL Stressing Jacks

The CCL „MG‟ Stressing Jacks used for the CCL „XM‟ and „XMC‟ Systems have the following
features:
 Automatic gripping of the wedges on the strands.

 The simultaneous stressing of all the strands of the tendon.
 Support of the Jack on the FTU, by means of a temporary Bearing Ring.
 The simultaneous hydraulic lock-off of all the wedges in the AH.
 Partial stressing of the tendons with later recovery up to the final values of the
prestressing force.
 The stressing by successive loadings of the Jack when the final extension is greater
than the full extension of the CCL Jack.
Other different Jacks may be used by the CCL Specialist PT Distribution/Licence Company,
provided their suitability to the CCL „XM‟ and „XMC‟ Anchorages is approved by CCL before use.
Manuals and procedures are supplied with each CCL Stressing Jack.
Various dimensions and characteristics of CCL „MG‟ Stressing Jacks are given in Annex 34 & 35.
CCL „MG‟ Jacks are marked on the Outer Cylinder with their Serial Numbers for identification
purposes.
Different Jack innards are required for each system type.

1.2.5. Friction Losses

With Post-Tensioned steel the effect of friction may be the single greatest factor causing loss of
prestress. There are three main causes of friction loss in the Post-Tensioned tendon:
 Friction due to the deviation of the tendon through the anchorage.

 Friction between the tendon and the duct due to unintentional lack of alignment (or
wobble) of the duct.
 Friction due to the curvature of the duct.
Friction Loss in CCL „XM‟ and „XMC‟ anchorages determined from testing is 2-3%.
Friction Loss in the duct for Post-Tensioned tendons can be estimated from:

P  x   Pmax 1  e
    kx 

Where:
P  x   losses due to friction
Pmax  force at the active end during tensioning
  sum of the angular displacements over a distance x (irrespective of direction or sign)
  coefficient of friction between the tendon and its duct
k  unintentional angular displacement (per unit length)
x  distance along the tendon from the point where the prestressing force is equal to Pmax
The values for the coefficient of friction, , and unintentional angular displacement, k, should be in
line with EN 1992 Eurocode 2: Design of Concrete Structures and previous experience from site
measurements, as shown in Table 13. Values for the coefficient of friction may differ in local codes
and can change due to the condition of strand and duct. The user should check local codes for
compliance.

When the tendon to be controlled has 2 Active/LE anchorages, i.e. with the tendon being able to be
stressed with the Jack at both ends, the measurement on site of the friction loss of the tendon is
possible by comparing the load applied by one Jack to the load measured on the other Jack.
1.2.6. Anchorage Wedge Set

CCL „X‟ Range Jacks are equipped with a hydraulic lock-off system ensuring even seating of the
wedges in the AH and Coupler before removal of the Jack. After the transfer of load from the Jack
to the anchorage, the strand and wedges draw a little further into the AH or Coupler. This further
movement is known as wedge set. The wedge set leads to a loss of tension in the strand, which
must be taken into account in the load loss/elongation calculations.
The values for wedge set to be used in the calculations for all tendons are:
For active anchorages with Jacks with hydraulic lock-off:
 Wedge Set, g = 6mm ±2mm
For passive anchorages with spring-loaded retaining plates:
 Wedge Set, g = 8mm ±2mm
1.2.7. Tendon Elongation

The force in the tendon during stressing is measured with a hydraulic pressure gauge. Elastic
elongation of the tendon can also be used to monitor this force. The designer specifies an
expected elongation (including acceptable tolerance). The following formula can be used to
estimate the elongation:
PLt
 
 ApEs 
Where:
  elongation of the tendon
P  average force in a tendon
Lt  tendon length between anchorages
Ap  nominal cross-sectional area of a tendon
Es  modulus of elasticity of the tendon steel

Before being stressed, a tendon almost always has slack in it, so a tendon is usually partially
stressed up to a value of about 10% of the specified jacking force (CCL recommend a datum of 1/3
of the specified stressing load, F0). This point is then taken as the reference zero point for the
measurement of elongation. The measurement is taken from the extension of the jack; therefore Lt
must include the length of the tendon within the jack between the anchor head and the jack
wedges. It is also necessary that the elongation measured from the reference point is multiplied by
a correction factor before being compared to the estimated elongation specified by the designer.
1.2.8. Spacing of the Supports

For tendons in corrugated steel or plastic ducts, the maximum spacing of the supports will be 1.0m
for straight sections or sections with large radii of curvature, or 0.5m for sections with small radii of
curvature. For tendons in smooth steel tubes, spacing could be increased according to the rigidity
of the tube and its slope, but cannot exceed 3.0m.
The supports carrying the ducting should be sufficiently strong to carry the weight of the duct and
the strands passing through it when threaded prior to concreting, as well as the forces occurring
during and after concreting, including compaction of the concrete.
1.2.9. Radius of Curvature

Generally radius of curvature depend on duct type; minimum radius of curvature must comply with
national regulations.
1.2.10. Compressive Strength of Concrete

The mean compressive strength of concrete at which full prestressing is permitted, fcm,0, specified
by the designer of the structure must be greater than or equal to 30MPa cube strength. In the case
of partial stressing of a standard anchorage to 50% of Fpk, the minimum mean compressive
strength of concrete could be reduced by 30%.
1.2.11. Anchorage Spacing and Concrete Cover

Taking into account the tested values of mean compressive concrete strength, fcm,0, (30MPa and
55MPa cube strength for units XM10-100); the test specimen side lengths of the end block (a and
b) are provided in Annex 25 for 3 levels of mean compressive concrete strength.
For values of fcm,0 between 30MPa and 55MPa cube strength, a and b can be determined by
straight line interpolation, as is the case for values quoted for fcm,0 on cube = 45MPa.
For the tested value of mean compressive strength, fcm,0, (46MPa cube strength for units XM10-
80); the test specimen side lengths of the end block (a and b) are provided in Annex 31.
The minimum concrete cover from the reinforcement to the edge of the structure, cmin, should be
established according to EN 1992 Eurocode 2: Design of Concrete Structures and must be taken
into account when determining the minimum distances from the axis of an anchorage to the edge
of the structure (x1 and y1).

Given the test specimen side lengths a and b in Annex 25 & 31, the minimum distances between
two axes of anchorages (x2 and y2) and to the edge of the structure (x1 and y1) result from the
following formulae (where c is the concrete cover):
a
  x2  1.15a

1.3. Installation
The CCL „XM‟ and „XMC‟ anchorages are fit for use in suitably designed structures. The designer
of the structure is assumed to respect the relevant specifications set by applicable standards and
to adapt their design in accordance with these standards and the advice of the ETA holder.
1.3.1. Anchorages
The FTU is fixed to the formwork, then the DC is screwed into the FTU, in the case of the
encapsulated system, the joint between the FTU and DC is sealed using a heat shrink sleeve. The
local bursting reinforcement is attached with the general reinforcement.
The ducting is connected, and the sealing of the connection between the duct and the anchorage
is carried out, either by an adhesive sealing tape, or a heat-shrink sleeve, in the case of the
encapsulated system, a plastic sleeve and a heat-shrink sleeve are used at each duct connection.
To facilitate the installation of the AH or Coupler and the wedges a sufficient open space must be
reserved behind each anchorage. This open space must also allow for implementation of sealing
caps.
Setting out dimensions of the anchorage and space reserved behind each anchorage are to be
checked before concreting.
AH or Coupler (1st Stage) and wedges are assembled immediately prior to stressing of the tendon
in order to avoid corrosion.
1.3.1.1 Active Anchorages:

Sufficient space must be reserved behind the anchorage for the installation and operation of the
stressing Jack.
Stressing must only be carried out when the concrete has cured to the required minimum
compressive strength.
The cut length of the strands, calculated from exposed face of the FTU must be sufficient to allow
installation of the AH or Coupler and wedges, the threading of the stressing Jack and insertion of
the Jack wedges. These lengths should be checked with the local agent to ensure the suitability to
the particular stressing Jack to be used.

1.3.1.2 Passive Anchorages
For tendons where the tension is applied at one end only, a dead end anchorage can be used. The
wedge retaining plates and springs are fixed to the AH or Coupler holding the wedges in place with
sufficient force to help prevent wedge-stepping.
The cut length of the strands, calculated from exposed face of the FTU must be sufficient to allow
installation of the AH or Coupler and wedges, then the locking of the wedges with the retaining
plate and springs. An extra length of 50mm beyond the AH or Coupler is necessary.
1.3.1.3 Deviators for External Tendons

For this ETA, no deviators has been tested according to the deviated tendon test of ETAG 013.
Unless there are stricter regulations at the place of use, external tendon deviators must be in line
with French Fascicule 65 of C.C.T.G. – chapter 11.
1.3.2. Pre-Sealing and Grouting of Anchorages

After stressing and cutting back of the tendon, CCL „XM‟ and „XMC‟ anchorages can be equipped
with temporary or permanent sealing caps fixed onto the FTU or coupler, respectively. This makes
it possible to inject the ducts before the final sealing.
1.3.3. Corrosion Protection

After stressing of the tendon, the free volume between the duct and the strands is filled to protect
the tendon from corrosion.
CCL „XM‟ and „XMC‟ anchorages shall be injected with a corrosion protection substance in
accordance with the local regulations and with the specifications of implementation laid out by
CCL.
Corrosion protection is usually carried out in internal prestressing in concrete by a cement grout
which ensures a mechanical connection between the reinforcement and the concrete structure.
Common grouts must comply with requirements of EN 445, EN 446 and ETAG 013. Common
grout to be used should have been subject to and have results of the inclined tube test as laid out
in ETAG 013.
Grouting procedures should conform to EN 447 and fib Bulletin No. 20 “Grouting of tendons in
prestressed concrete”. Manufacture and the placement of a cement grout must respect the local
specifications and the guidelines laid out in ETAG 013.
Greases and Waxes of various origins can be used with the CCL „XM‟ System, especially for
external PT. Greases and Waxes must conform to the specifications of ETAG 013 (Annex C.4.1 for
Grease and Annex C.4.2 for Wax).
An up to date list of corrosion protection products that can be used with the CCL „XM‟ and „XMC‟
System is available from CCL.

Grease and Waxes have not been tested for the delivery of this ETA and they shall comply with EN447 and
ETAG013 Annex C.4.3.
