Anchorage Set Losses
Losses due to anchorage set are NOT uniformly distributed along the entire length of the tendon. Rather, the length of the tendon affected by anchorage set is calculated as a function of the friction losses:
L_{set} = \sqrt{\left(\frac{{\Delta_
Unknown macro: {set}
\;A_
Unknown macro: {PS}
\;E_P}}{P}\right)}
where,
- \Delta_{set} = Anchorage set
- A_{PS} = Cross sectional area of the tendon
- E_P = Young’s modulus of the tendon
- P = frictional loss expressed as a change in force per unit length calculated from a tendon force variation diagram
