Other sizes available on request For proper design and detailing of anchorage zones and related reinforcement, refer to the VSL Publication Detailing for Post-Tensioning. Dimensions in inches. Dimensions are valid for: Nominal concrete cylinder strength at 28 days: 4,000 psi (28 MPa). Maximum prestressing force may be applied when concrete reaches a cylinder strength of 80% of its nominal strength or 3,500 psi (24 MPa) whichever is less.

Subject to modification Temporary overstressing to 80% of Guaranteed Ultimate Tensile Strength. Information for other concrete strengths and conditions are available from your local VSL Representative. 1) Anchorage may be used with 0.5 (12.7 mm) or 6 (15.2 mm) strand. 2) Use actual K when calculating H. 3) L shall be the maximum permitted by the slab thickness and cover, whereas Lmm = 1.5 x K.
