Unbonded Internal Post-Tensioning

Unbonded internal post-tensioning facilitates simple bridge maintenance and inspection.

Internal post-tensioning systems that are not bonded are robust, dependable, and corrosion-proof. Systems can make use of Threadbars, wire tendons, strand tendons, and mono-strand tendons.

Unbonded internal post-tensioning systems are used as
  • Mono-strand tendons: Buildings are frequently constructed using bunched, greased, and PE-sheathed mono-strand tendons, which are also employed in the transversal post-tensioning of bridges.
  • Internal wire tendons: Bridges and other civil structures with solid cross-sections and slabs where it is necessary to evaluate the straining level subsequently are typical applications for internal wire tendons.
  • Unbonded strand tendons are frequently used in civil structures, such as bridges.
  • Threadbars: In projects involving the strengthening and restoration of infrastructure, unbonded internal bar post-tensioning systems are employed. The connecting of precast members, the fixation or tieback anchorages of steel structures, and transverse post-tensioning are examples of typical uses.
Features:
  • Monostrand systems and strand systems with up to 55 strands
  • Bar systems up to 47 mm in diameter
  • Systems with up to 84 wires
  • The tendon is typically constructed with corrosion protection, shipped to the site, and installed.
  • Grease, wax, or gel are examples of soft corrosion-prevention materials.
  • Low range of produced stress
  • Less worry tiredness
  • Monitoring of the putting pressure
  • Possible restressing, if necessary
  • Replaceable if necessary
