15. Sheathing is comprise of flexible 'ribbed conduit' type with minimum 51mm I.D.(54mm O.D. ) for
which friction coefficient = 0.25 and wobble coefficient k = 0.0045/m have been assumed in the design.
The sheathing was made from short lengths of not less than 4 metres.
16. All strands of a tendon are stressed simultaneously. The slip at anchorage at each end of tendon for the
above system has been taken as 6mm.
17. Each tendon is stressed from both ends simultaneously.
18. The sequence specified in the relevant drawings are followed for stressing of tendons.
19. Tendon extensions specified are for the length between mid-span and face of anchorage and are based
on a Modulus of Elasticity of 1.95X10^8 kN/sq.m and sheathing properties given above. These extensions
are suitably modified to account for the variation in properties as well as the additional length between
face of anchorage and gripping point of the jack.
20. Jacking forces and extensions specified are generally achieved simultaneously. In case of shortfall, the
stressing is continued to achieve the required jacking force/extension, without exceeding the specified
values by more than 5%. Tendons satisfying the above are locked. Tendons failing to satisfy are pulled out,
reinserted after cleaning blockages, if any, and stressed again.
Piles
21. All pile reinforcement are extended into pile caps as indicated on the drawings.
22. Precast and cast-in-place piles have the contact surfaces with the pile cap scrabbled in accordance with
the specification and are extended 50mm (min) into the pile cap.
