Anchorage Zones
In either case, the transfer of the prestressing forces occurs at the end of the
member and involves high local pressures and forces.
Dr. Ahmed Yousry
The length of the member over which the concentrated prestressing force changes
into a uniformly distributed over the cross section is called the transfer length (in
the pre-tensioned members) and the anchorage length (for the post-tensioned
members).
The stress concentration within the anchorage zone in a pre-tensioned member are
not usually as sever as in a post-tensioned anchorage zone.

High bursting tensile stresses developed along the axis of the plate.
Moreover end tensile stresses develop at the edge above the bearing plate. These
tensile stresses called the spalling stresses and are usually exist in eccentrically
loaded end. zone.
