B SPECIFIC CONDITIONS OF THE EUROPEAN TECHNICAL APPROVAL
B.1 DEFINITION OF PRODUCTS AND INTENDED USE
B.1.1 Definition of Products This European Technical Approval applies to a kit: DYWIDAG – External Strand Post-Tensioning System
consisting of 3 to 37 strands. The DYWIDAG post-tensioning kit is designed for internal unbonded and external prestressing. The prestressing tendon consists of a bundle of 7-wire strands, anchorages, deviators, sheathing and corrosion protective compounds.
- The strands are defined in the prEN 10138-3: ”Prestressing steels – Strand” as 0.6” ‘normal’ and ‘super’ strand, i.e. with Ø 15.3 and Ø 15.7 mm nominal diameter, with a nominal tensile strength of 1770 or 1860 N/mm², coded Y1770S7 15.3 (or 15.7) or Y1860S7 15.3 (or 15.7), respectively, referred to as the ‘tensile element’.
- As long as EN 10138 is not implemented 7-wire strands in accordance with national provisions shall be used.
- Stressing (active) anchorages and fixed (passive) anchorages
� consisting of an anchor plate with connection tube, steel trumpet, plastic insert and wedge plate, or
� consisting of a cast iron anchor body with a HDPE-trumpet and a wedge plate.
- Sheathings are made of plastic (polyethylene, HDPE).
- Deviators are specific elements at given locations in the structure along the tendon. These are generally made of steel tubes (straight or prebent) placed inside the concrete structure or construction steel saddles applied to the structure.
- Bursting reinforcement (helix and stirrups), for the concrete confinement at anchorages to ensure local prestressing force transfer into the concrete structure.
- The corrosion protecting compound can be a flexible compound with a wax base (in accordance with Annex C.4.2 of ETAG 013) for external and internal unbonded use, or a cement based grout (in accordance with EN 447) for rigid injection for external use only.
Steel and plastic tubes, the ordinary reinforcement for bursting reinforcement, grouting products are covered by European or national provisions thus they are not described in this ETA. However, they can be used for the prestressing kit.

B.1.2 Intended use The DYWIDAG internal unbonded and external strand post-tensioning system (in the following PT system) has been developed to be used for:
• new structures • repairing and strengthening existing structures
exposed to effects from gravity and live loads, climate exposures, imposed sets of deformations. If used for external prestressing this PT system is meant for concrete structures/members with a tendon path situated outside their cross section but inside their envelope. It may also be employed in structures made of other materials, e.g. masonry, steel, cast iron, timber or combinations of several materials (see Annex 15). In case of use with other materials than concrete, dimensions and force transfer shall be designed according to the relevant Eurocodes or national regulations valid in place of use. The following optional use categories for the tendons are possible:
• restressable • exchangeable • encapsulated
B.1.3 Working life The provisions made in this European Technical Approval are based on an assumed working life of the PT system of 100 years. These provisions are based upon the current state of the art and the available knowledge and experience. The indications given on the working life cannot be interpreted as a guarantee given by the kit manufacturer or the Approval Body, but are to be regarded only as a means for choosing the right products in relation to the expected economically reasonable working life of the works. The relevant Eurocodes are the following: EN 1990 “Eurocode 0”: Basis of structural design EN 1991 “Eurocode 1”: Actions on structures EN 1992 “Eurocode 2”: Design of concrete structures EN 1993 “Eurocode 3”: Design of steel structures EN 1994 “Eurocode 4”: Design of composite steel and concrete structures EN 1995 “Eurocode 5”: Design of timber structures EN 1996 “Eurocode 6”: Design of masonry structures The PT system is supposed to be subject to appropriate use and maintenance (see Chapter 7 of ETAG 013).

Arrangement of the tendons, the design of the anchorage zones, the anchorage components and the diameters of the sheathings shall correspond to the attached description and drawings; the dimensions and materials shall comply with the values given therein. The first digit of the designation of components of anchorages (6) identifies the nominal strand diameter in tenfold of inches (0.60”/0.62”), the second digit is an internal code and the last two digits refer to the number of strands in the tendon (size of tendon). The components (except helix and additional reinforcement) fit for tendons with both strand strengths. B.2.1.2 Strands Only 7-wire strands shall be used in accordance with national provisions with the characteristics given in Annex 18.
To avoid confusions only strands with one nominal diameter shall be used on one site. If the use of strands with Rm = 1860 MPa is intended on site, these shall only be used there. Only strands stranded in the same direction shall be used in a tendon. B.2.1.3 Wedges Wedges (see Annex 2) are approved with 30°-tooth or 45°-tooth. The segments of the wedges for strands ∅ 15.3 mm are 42 mm long and the segments of the wedges for strands ∅ 15.7 mm are 45 mm long. The wedge dimension does not depend on the strands’ strength. Wedges of one supplier only may be used at one construction site. B.2.1.4 Wedge plates The conical drills of the wedge plates (see Annex 2) shall be clean, stainless and provided with a corrosion protection. B.2.1.5 Anchor plate with recess tube Circular anchor plate with recess tube welded watertight to it shall be used (see Annexes 3-5). B.2.1.6 Steel trumpet with PE-insert As a part of the steel trumpet the tension ring is welded to the steel tube with the flange. The PE-insert is fixed to the tension ring through a gasket with a retaining ring and screws (see Annex 2). A piece of plastic sheathing with relevant diameter is mirror welded to the PE-insert. Its length is determined in order to protrude out from the concrete body around the anchorage zone.

B.2.1.8 Bursting reinforcement (helixes and stirrups) The steel grades and dimensions of the helixes and of the stirrups shall comply with the values given in the relevant Annexes 6-8 and 11-14. The central position in the structural concrete member on site shall be ensured according to section B.4.2.3. The outer end of the helix shall be welded to the anchor plate or the anchor body MA. This is not necessary if the final turn is welded to form a closed ring. B.2.1.9 Sheathings, tubes and trumpets Sheathings made of polyethylene shall comply with EN 12201 and ETAG 013. The dimensions of the sheathings shall comply with values given in Annex 2. The connections and seals between the sections of sheathing are effected either with mirror welding or electro-welding couplers. The recess tubes and steel tubes (respectively welded to anchor plate and flange, see Annexes 3-5) are manufactured from at least 3.2 mm thick steel sheath material (see Annex 17). The trumpets at the stressing and fixed anchorages (see Annexes 9 and 10) are manufactured from 3.0 mm thick PE material (see Annex 17). The connections and seals between a section of sheathing and a trumpet are effected with mirror welding. B.2.1.10 Grout Grout according to EN 447:1996 shall be used. B.2.1.11 Wax Wax as defined in Annex C.4.2 of ETAG 013 or according to national regulations valid in place of use shall be used. B.2.1.12 Protective caps Protective caps serve as closing the anchorage to enable grouting/injection and its protection. The caps are made of steel. Regularly they cover the wedge plate and are left in place after injection. Elongated caps may be used for sufficient strand over-length for later prestressing force adjustment or detensioning.

B.2.2 Methods of verification B.2.2.1 General This European Technical Approval for the "DYWIDAG external strand post-tensioning system" is issued on the basis of agreed data, deposited at Sétra, which identifies the "DYWIDAG external strand post-tensioning system" that has been assessed and judged. Assessment of the fitness of the "DYWIDAG external strand post-tensioning system" for the intended use in relation to the requirements for mechanical resistance and stability in the sense of Essential Requirements 1 and for Essential Requirement 3 (hygiene, health and environment) has been made in accordance with the ETAG 013, Guideline for European Technical Approval of post-tensioning kits for prestressing of structures, based on the provisions for all systems. The release of dangerous substances (Essential Requirement 3) is determined according to ETAG 013, clause 5.3.1. A declaration was made by the kit manufacturer that the product does not contain any dangerous substances. In addition to the specific clauses relating to dangerous substances contained in the ETA, there may be other requirements, applicable to the products falling within its scope (e.g. transposed European legislation and national laws, regulations and administrative provisions). In conformity with the provisions of the European directive 89/106/EEC, these requirements must also be complied with wherever they apply. The structural members (made of normal-weight concrete) prestressed by means of the DYWIDAG-External Strand Post-Tensioning System used to be designed in accordance with national regulations. B.2.2.2 Tendons The maximum prestressing and over-tensioning force to be applied on the tendon is specified in the national standards and regulations in force in the place of use. The maximum force P0, max defined according to EN 1992-1-1 paragraph 5.10.2 (with recommended values for k1 and k2), and according to prEN 10138, shall not exceed the values laid down in Table 1 (140 mm²) or in Table 2 (150 mm²). Maximum prestressing force P0, max = min (0.8 Fpk ; 0.9 Fp0.1k) where Fpk = Ap fpk is the characteristic tensile force of tensile elements of tendons and Fp0.1k = Ap fp0.1k the characteristic tensile yield force of tensile elements of tendon (0.1 % proof load). The initial prestressing force Pm0 immediately after tensioning and anchoring shall not exceed the values laid down in Table1 (140 mm²) or in Table2 (150 mm²), see also Annex 1.
Initial prestressing force Pm0 = min (0.75 Fpk ; 0.85 Fp0.1k)

The number of strands in a tendon may be reduced by leaving out strands lying radial-symmetrically in the wedge plate. The provisions for tendons with completely filled wedge plates (basic types) also apply to tendons with only partly filled wedge plates. Into the cones not filled short pieces of strands with wedges have to be pressed to assure a sufficient bending stiffness of the wedge plate. Obviously for such tendons wedge plates machined without the not needed conical borings can be applied, too. The prestressing force is reduced per strand left out as shown in Table 3.
Table 3: Reduction of the prestressing force when leaving out one strand
B.2.2.3 Losses of the prestressing force due to friction At calculation of the losses of the prestressing force due to friction the friction coefficient µ = 0.12 – 0.14 shall be considered. This value is for information only. The exact friction coefficient must be adapted to each project and also in case of restressing. For internal unbonded tendons the wobble coefficient k = 0.005 rad/m (unintentional deviation) shall be considered. At external tendons no wobble coefficient k need to be taken into account. For the determination of strains and forces of prestressing steel friction losses ∆PµA in the active anchorage zone shall be taken into account as follows:
- For the tendon sizes from 6803 to 6805: ∆PµA = 1.0 %
- For the tendon sizes from 6807 to 6837: ∆PµA = 0.5 %

The minimum values of radius of curvature given in Table 4 shall be respected, unless a national regulation is stricter. Smooth steel pipes can be bent to a constant radius in one plane. This should be taken into account at when specifying the tendon layout. By using anchor bodies type MA a straight length of the tendon behind the anchorage (measured from the top of the anchor body) according to Table 5 is required.

The minimum values of radius of curvature given in Table 7 shall be respected, unless a national regulation is stricter. B.2.2.5 Concrete strength At the time of transmission of the full prestressing force to the concrete member the mean concrete strength in the anchorage zone shall be at least fcmj, cube or fcmj, cyl according to Table 8.
The mean concrete strength (fcmj, cube or fcmj, cyl) shall be verified by means of at least three specimens (cube with the edge length of 150 mm or cylinder with diameter of 150 mm and height of 300 mm), which shall be stored under the same conditions as the concrete member, with the individual values of specimens not differ more than 5 %.

For partial prestressing with 30 % of the full prestressing force the actual mean value of the concrete compressive strength to be proved is 0.5 fcmj, cube or 0.5 fcmj, cyl; intermediate values may be interpolated linearly. B.2.2.6 Centre and edge distances of the tendon anchorages, concrete cover The centre and edge distances of the tendon anchorages shall be the values given in the Annexes 6-8 and 11-14 depending on the actual mean concrete strength. These are valid for both strand sizes (Ø)15,7 mm and (Ø)15,3 mm. The values of the centre or edge distances of the anchorages given in the Annexes may be reduced in one direction up to 15 %, however, in the other direction these values shall be increased for keeping the same concrete area in the anchorage zone. By reducing these values, a minimal centre and edge distance has to be considered:
- MA-Anchorages without helix (see Annexes 13 and 14): External dimension of the stirrup reinforcement plus 20 mm.
- Plate and MA-Anchorages with helix (see Annexes 6-8 and 11-12): External diameter of the helix plus 20 mm.
The dimensions of the additional reinforcement shall be fitted accordingly. All centre and edge distances have only been specified in conjunction with load transfer to the structure; therefore, the concrete cover given in national standards and provisions shall be taken into account additionally. The concrete cover may under no circumstance be less than 20 mm or smaller than the concrete cover of the reinforcement installed in the same cross section. The concrete cover of the anchorage should be at least 20 mm. Standards and regulations on concrete cover valid in place of use shall be considered. B.2.2.7 Reinforcement in the anchorage zone The anchorages (including reinforcement) for the transfer of the prestressing forces to the structural concrete were verified by means of tests. The resistance to the forces occurring in the
European Technical Approval n° 13/0979 Page 15 of 50
Version of the 27th June 2013
structural concrete in the anchorage zone outside the helix and the additional reinforcement shall be verified. An adequate transverse reinforcement shall be provided here in particular for the occurring transverse tensile forces (not shown in the attached drawings). The steel grades and dimensions of the additional reinforcement (stirrups) shall follow the values given in the Annexes 6-8 and 11-14. Existing reinforcement in a corresponding position more than the reinforcement required by design may be taken into account for the additional reinforcement. The additional reinforcement shall be of closed stirrups (stirrups closed by means of bends or hooks or an equivalent method) or of orthogonal reinforcement properly anchored. The stirrups locks (bends or hooks) shall be placed staggered. In the anchorage zone vertically led gaps shall be provided for proper concreting. If required for a specific project design, the reinforcement given in the Annexes can be modified in accordance with the respective regulations in force at the place of use as well as with relevant approval of the local authority and of the ETA holder to provide equivalent performance. If in exceptional cases7 – due to an increased amount of reinforcement – the helix or the concrete cannot be properly placed, the helix can be replaced by different equivalent reinforcement. B.2.2.8 Slip at the anchorages The slip at the anchorages (see section B.4.2.4) shall be taken into account in the static calculation and the determination of the tendon elongation. B.2.2.9 Resistance to fatigue With the fatigue tests carried out in accordance with ETAG 013, the stress range of 80 MPa of the anchorages at maximum load of 0.65 fpk at 2x106 load cycles was demonstrated.
7 This requires the approval of the local authority for individual case according to the national regulations and administrative provisions.

B.4 ASSUMPTIONS UNDER WHICH THE FITNESS OF THE PRODUCT FOR THE INTENDED USE WAS FAVOURABLY ASSESSED
B.4.1 Manufacturing The European Technical Approval is issued for the product on the basis of agreed data/information, deposited with Sétra, which identifies the product that has been assessed and judged. Changes to the product or production process, which could result in this deposited data/information being incorrect, should be notified to Sétra before the changes are introduced. Sétra will decide whether or not such changes affect the ETA and consequently the validity of the CE marking on the basis of the ETA and if so whether further assessment or alterations to the ETA shall be necessary.
B.4.2 Installation B.4.2.1 General Assembly and installation of the tendons shall only be performed by qualified post-tensioning specialist companies which have the required technical skills and experiences with this DYWIDAG PT system. The company’s site manager shall have a certificate of the ETA holder certifying that he is instructed by the ETA holder and has the required knowledge and experience with this PT system. National standards and regulations valid on site shall be considered. The ETA holder is responsible to inform anyone concerned about the use of this DYWIDAG PT system. Additional information as listed in ETAG 013, section 9.2 shall be held available at the ETA holder and shall be distributed as needed. The tendons and the components shall be handled carefully. B.4.2.2 Welding Welding at the anchorages is only permitted at the following points:
a) Welding of the end of the helix to a closed ring.
b) For ensuring the central position the helix may be attached to the anchor plate or to the anchor body by welding.
After mounting the tendons no more welding shall be performed at the anchorages and in the immediate vicinity of the tendons. B.4.2.3 Installation of the tendon The central position of the helix and stirrups shall be ensured by tack-welding to the anchor plate or the anchor body or other appropriate mountings.
