Duct/Strand Cross-Section
• Overcoming Friction:
– Over-tensioning (limited)
– Jacking from both ends
• Calculating Losses
– Function of:
• Curvature Friction Coefficient
• Angle Change Over Length of Strand
• Wobble Friction Coefficient
• Length from Jack to Point of Interest
– Reference:
• Post-Tensioning Manual, Appendix A

Creep strain is calculated by a creep coefficient, 𝜓(𝑡, 𝑡𝑖 ), that expresses creep strain as
a function of elastic strain.
