Corrugated Duct

Metal ducts represent the most

economical means to create a void for
tensile elements. These thin-walled
(0.25 - 0.60 mm), ribbed sheet metal
ducts provide a fair secondary
corrosion protection with excellent
bond behavior between tendon and
concrete. Primary corrosion protection
is provided by the alkalinity of grout
and concrete.

The tendon type number (e.g. 5901, 6801) is composed as follows: the first digit (5 or 6)
identifies the nominal strand diameter in tenth of inches, i.e. 0.5" or 0.6"/ 0.62", the last two
digits (..01) reference the number of used strands (= 1 strand). The second digit O.D.
is an internal code. As regards the 0.6"tendon types, the accessories fit both Grade 250
(GUTS 1770 N/mm2 ) and Grade 270 (GUTS 1860 N/mm2 ) strands.
