GLOSSARY OF TERMS RELATING TO
CEMENT CONCRETE
PART XI PRESTRESSED CONCRETE
0. FOREWORD
0.1 This Indian Standard (Part XI) was adopted by the Indian Standards
Institution on 16 February 1973, after the draft finalized by the Cement
and Concrete Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil
Engineering Division Council.
0.2 Cement concrete is one of the most versatile and extensively used
building materials in all civil engineering constructions. -There are a
number of technical terms connected with the basic materials for concrete
as well as the production and use of concrete which quite often require
clarification to give precise meaning to the stipulations in the standard
specifications, codes of practices and other technical documents. It has,
therefore, become necessary to standardize the various terms and definitions
used in cement and concrete technology and thus avoid ambiguity in their
interpretations. The Sectional Committee has, therefore, decided to bring
out a series of glossaries of terms relating to concrete and concrete
materials.
0.3 For convenience of reference, this glossary of terms relating to cement
concrete has been grouped into the following twelve parts:
3
IS : 6461 (Part XI) - 1973
0.3.1 .In addition to those given in 0.3, two separate standards have been
brought out concerning terminology relating. to pozzolanic materials and
hydraulic cement. These standards are IS: 4305-1967i and IS: 4845-
1968?.
0.4 In the formulation of this standard due weightage has been given
to international co-ordination among the standards and practices prevailing
in different countries in addition to relating it to the practices in the field
in this country. This has b een met by deriving assistance from the
following publications:
1. SCOPE
2. DEFINITIONS
2.0 For the purpose of this standard, the following definitions shall apply.

IS : 6461 ( Part XI) - 1973
the devices for attaching precast units to the building frame; in slab or
wall construction the device used to anchor the slab or wall to the
foundation, rock, or adjacent structure.
5
IS:6461 (Part XI)-1973
2.18 Dead End - In the stressing of a tendon from one end only, the end
opposite that to which stress is applied.
2.29 Final Stress - In prestressed concrete, the stress which exists after
substantially all losses have occurred.
2.30 Flat Jack - A hydraulic jack consisting of light gauge metal bent
and welded to a flat shape which expands under internal pressure.
6
IS : 6461 ( Part XI ) - 1973
2.38 Jacking Device -The device used to stress the tendons for pre-
stressed concrete; also, a device for raising a vertical slipform.
.b) temporarily overstress the steel to reduce steel creep that occurs
after anchorage, and

1S : 6461 ( Part XI ) - 1973
2.64 Stressing End - In prestressed concrete, the end of the tendon from
which the load is applied when tendons are stressed from one end only.
2.67 Tendon - A steel element, such as a wire, cable, bar, rod, or strand
used to impart prestress to concrete when the elementis tensioned.
