Detailing
Provide 2 in. clear cover to reinforcing steel for entire cross section. Also, increase top slab clear cover to 2.5 in. in areas of state where de-icing agents are frequently used.
Provide a minimum tangent length, dependent on duct size and type, of tendon from the anchorage head before introducing any curvature. Determine minimum radius of curvature for individual duct sizes based on published values from suppliers.
Reference Item 426 “Post Tensioning” in the General Notes for all post tensioning, grouting materials, and construction. Note exceptions if Protection Level 1B is used in the design (galvanized duct allowed).
Provide anchorage zone details per Article 5.9.5.6 for the post-tensioning forces and Article 5.9.4.4 for the pretensioning forces. To determine the total required reinforcing for the anchorage zone, combine the required reinforcing for both the post-tensioned anchorage zone and the pretensioned anchorage zone. Provide anchor zone reinforcing at each debond section, for the strands terminated there.
