Fig. 6.35 Plan and principal section of tendon layout<br />
Immediate losses of prestressing due to friction have been evaluated by means of the<br />
following expression:<br />
with:<br />
-μ�(α + k x)<br />
σpo (x) = σpo,max ⋅ e<br />
μ = 0.19 coefficient of friction between the tendons and their sheathing;<br />
k = 0.01 rad/m unintentional angular deviation.<br />
Prestressing has to be introduced in the FEM model in order to calculated the hyperstatic<br />
actions that arise in the structural scheme. Considering prestressing as an external load, it is<br />
possible to introduce it by means of two inclined forces at anchorages (representing actions<br />
at the extremity) and of a system of equivalent loads along tendon’s profile (representing<br />
tendon curvature and losses due to friction): these actions per tendon, should be applied<br />
consistently at the nodes of FEM model.<br />
The equivalent loads may be calculated subdividing the tendon profile into elementary<br />
segments and evaluating the internal action able to equilibrate the external one due to end<br />
actions deriving by the prestressing.
