FREYSSINET PRESTRESS:

A. POST TENSIONING

Freyssinet has developed compact prestressing systems suitable for prestressing thin elements. These
systems make it possible to significantly improve the slabs commonly used in buildings.

Main benefits

 Larger slab spans require fewer columns, providing great freedom in terms of
layout;
 Depending on slab type, elimination of soffits or reduced floor thicknesses. The saving in height
thus obtained can result in an increase in the number of storeys in the structure;
 Savings in materials (concrete and steel);
 Foundations are smaller and simpler;
 Shorter lead times due to fast installation.

As well as:

 Elimination of deflection in routine service;

 Reduction in number or even elimination of slab contraction joints and floor expansion joints;
 Better control of shrinkage cracking for improved watertightness and hence greater durability.

The use of floors prestressed by post-tensioning results in a 20% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions
compared with traditional reinforced concrete designs.

A variety of applications

Freyssinet prestressing systems can be used in floors, foundation slabs and building
transfer structures, as well as in industrial slabbing systems. They are a cost-effective, reliable
solution for optimising a wide range of structures:

 Residential buildings;
 High-rise office buildings;
 Shopping centres;
 Underground or above-ground car parks;
 Hospitals;
 Schools;
 Business centres;
 Industrial buildings;
 Sports halls;
 Docks, etc.

Building floors

These are often thin slabs, continuous over several spans and resting on columns at certain
points. Prestressing increases slab bending strength relative to permanent loads and variable
loads. Tendons can be arranged in two orthogonal directions or in a preferential direction with
added passive reinforcements at right angles.

The benefits brought about by prestressing in building floors are numerous:

 For high-rise buildings:

 Height between floors reduced to the minimum, enabling material savings to be achieved in vertical
elements, structural or otherwise;
 A shorter construction cycle on each storey, reducing the overall project lead-time and the amount
of formwork;
 The lowest possible floor mass, reducing the loads transmitted to the foundations and loads in
cross-bracing when subject to seismic stress.
 For buildings with large plan dimensions:
 Larger column-free areas, which are more functional and allow for better use of space;
 For certain commercial or industrial buildings, deflection and crack opening are strictly controlled.

Foundation slabs

Foundation slabs are in direct contact with the ground and enable buildings to be erected on
soils with poor mechanical properties.

The undulating layout of the prestressing compensates for permanent and variable loads.
The permanent compression of the concrete also improves foundation slab sealing against any
water ingress.

Transfer slabs

Transfer structures are often very thick slabs, subject to heavy loading, which absorb the
loads from columns above that are not aligned with the columns below. They are generally used in
high-rise buildings to clear a space without load-bearing elements or to effect the transition into car
park levels. Prestressing enables the height of transfer slabs to be substantially reduced; in certain
cases Freyssinet will be able to offer high-strength tendons equipped with anchors from its C
system for civil engineering structures.
 Industrial slabs

These slabs bear directly on the foundation soil. The prestressing tendons are straight,
centred and arranged in both directions. They allow for the reduction or even elimination of passive
reinforcements in the main run of the slab. They improve bending strength and ensure shrinkage
cracking is kept under control. Freyssinet builds very large industrial slabbing areas, while reducing
in number of or even eliminating contraction joints. These joints are vulnerable to wear due to
traffic and their elimination is particularly appreciated where automated conveyor systems are
installed, for which surfaces must be absolutely flat. The permanent compression of the concrete
by prestressing provides concrete foundation slabs with improved water tightness. Phased work
means that disruption can be reduced to a minimum for the operator.

B. PRESTRESSING DESIGN

Working closely with the architect and the design consultants in charge of the overall design of
the project, Freyssinet revises the design then conducts a detailed study of the floors, supplying all the
calculation data required for sizing the vertical elements in particular. Freyssinet is also available to put
forward optimised variants of the basic reinforced concrete systems.

In order to reduce the thickness of the slabs and fully or partly eliminate passive
reinforcements, Freyssinet uses professional, recognised 2D or 3D finite element design software that
complies with regulations and local practice, in order to determine floor dimensions.

Right from the preliminary phase, these design programs make it possible for quantities to be
fully verified and calculated precisely:

 for slab floors, punching shear strength due to permanent and service loads;
 for slabs on beams, deflection due to service loads on their own, or even shear forces or cracks
opening up.

Bonded prestressing

Prestressing by post-tensioning is generally of the bonded type, i.e. made up of steel

strands housed in a duct, which is injected with cement grout after tensioning. This arrangement
enables strand loads to be transferred to the concrete structure by bonding, which allows for
passive reinforcement to be optimised and significantly reduced.

Among other benefits, internal prestressing in concrete makes it possible to guarantee an

improvement in fire protection and ensures that tendons can be re-anchored in the event of
openings being made at a later date.

Unbonded prestressing

For projects involving specific stresses, Freyssinet can also offer unbonded prestressing
made up of greased sheathed strands installed in the reinforcement prior to concreting. The
 strands remain mechanically independent of the structure throughout the service life of the
structure and slide freely in the concrete.

Unbonded prestressing reduces the space occupied in the thickness of the slab and offers
greater freedom in horizontal alignment.

Prefabrication

If appropriate, Freyssinet can put forward a mixed system combining prefabricated

elements with prestressed elements cast in situ to optimise lead times and reduce costs.

C. MULTI-STRAND PRESTRESSING

Type B Active/Passive Anchors

The Freyssinet type B prestressing system consists of internal prestressing tendons with 3
to 5 T13 or T15 strands.

Type B anchors consist of active or passive anchors; they are made up the following
elements:

 A cast trumplate embedded in concrete that distributes the prestressing load into the structure
 A block and its jaws, bearing on the trumplate, which anchors the strands.

The construction provisions stipulated in the project must comply with current local
regulations, as well the technical specifications, Freyssinet procedures and technical approval, as
appropriate, relating to the use and installation of a type B prestressing system.

Bonded prestressing

In this configuration, type B anchors are used with uncoated strands in a metal or plastic
corrugated flat sheath, for ease of insertion into thin elements. The strands are threaded into their
ducts prior to concreting in order to overcome duct crushing problems, which might subsequently
impede strand threading.
 Once the strands have been tensioned and excess lengths cut off, the duct is injected with
cement grout.

Unbonded prestressing

For specific projects, system B anchors can be used with strands protected with grease,
coated with an individual HDPE sheath, in order to effect unbonded prestressing. The strands are
then incorporated directly into the reinforcement, before concreting.

Once the strands have been tensioned and excess lengths cut off, the anchor is injected
with cement grout.
PRESSCON
PHILIPPINES
INC.
ABOUT PRESSCON PHILIPPINES INC.,.
In 1967, Narciso Padilla founded Prescon Philippines, Inc. He brought for the first time in the country
a new method of pre-stressed concrete construction known as the post-tensioning system. The Prescon
System of post-tension was believed to be the most adaptable method for the country's then fledging
construction industry and up to this day remains best suited for a nation positioned in the earthquake belt.
Born in the Philippines, Narciso Padilla went to the United States of America and obtained his
Bachelor of Arts degree at Reed College in Portland Oregon. He then pursued Bachelor of Science in Civil
Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He went for advanced studies at the Universidad
de la Habana as Ingeniero Civil and completed studies as Fallout Shelter Analyst at the University of Puerto
Rico.

After intensive practice in the design of bridges, high-rise buildings, commercial and industrial
buildings and housing developments from North and South America, he decided to specialize in a new system
of construction which is the Prescon System, by joining Prescon Caribe, Inc. as its Vice President and
General Manager. After 2 years of familiarizing himself with the system, he returned to the Philippines to
establish the first post-tensioning company in the country which is the leader in the industry and continues to
enjoy the trust of major development and construction companies in the country today.
VISION:
To be a reliable and preferred business partner in the local construction and real estate industry,
known for its adaptability to changing customer requirements, cost-efficient technology and value-added
services in the next five years.
MISSION:
To ensure this climate of continuous growth and development as partners, our organization will
focus on results-oriented personnel, enhancement of methods, systems with processes, continuous
research and development programs as well as upgrade of machineries and equipment towards a
sustainable business relationship with our customers.
CONCEPT OF SERVICE:
Prescon's product is the supply and installation of post-tensioning tendons and accessories. The
flexibility of Prescon's system affords both the designer and the builder a system tailored to need an
anchorage variation suited to the particular structure. An integral component of The Prescon System of post-
tension is the Presconcept: Total Service - something we have always provided, a tradition not just an idea.
Presconcept: Total Service means total service to the entire building team (Architect, Engineer and the
Contractor) in every phase of post-tensioning from concept to completion. Whether you are unfamiliar with
post-tensioning or thoroughly acquainted with it, the Presconcept: Total Service is yours from the start to
finish of every job.
PRESCON SYSTEMS OF PRESTRESSING:
A. PRESCON WIRE SYSTEM
A system of employing cold-formed button heads for direct bearing at the ends of stressing
wires is used by Prescon and is more commonly known as the Prescon system. These system uses
special headforming machines for the purpose. By this system, 5mm dia. button heads are cold-
formed at the proper place for Prescon Type wires of 1/4" diameter. These wires are cold drawn,
stress relieved, high tensile steel having a minimum guaranteed ultimate strength of 240 ksi. Static
tests on these heads have shown that the full strength of the wire can be developed. If the wires are
grouted, there being practically no change in stress at the ends, no danger of fatigue failure is
expected.
B. ROCK AND SOIL ANCHORS
Soil or rock anchors, also known as ground anchors are most commonly used for
geotechnical and construction applications. Coming in many shapes and sizes, ground anchors
generally consist of steel elements (bars or strands) grouted in a drilled hole. More specifically, it
consists of a tendon-an assembly of pre-stressing steel, either steel bars or a group of high tensile
steel strands with corrosion protection, bond breakers, spacers and centralizers and an anchorage
composed of bearing plate, anchor block (wedge plate) with wedges capable of transmitting the pre-
stressing force from the steel to the surface of the ground or the supported structure. Ground anchors
are also referred to as "tiebacks" because they tie the load back to the rock or soil material.
C. MONOSTRAND SYSTEM

The entire assembly of high-strength pre-stressing steel, end anchorage and the duct is
referred to as a "tendon". In a single strand, called monostrand post-tensioning system, the tendon
consists of a single 7-wire steel strand, P/T coating, fixed end anchorage, stressing end anchorage.
The pre-stressing steel used for most post-tensioning system is a high-strength 7-wire strand made
helically by wrapping 6 wires around a central straight wire. Strand diameters are typically 0.50 in to
0.60 in., low relaxation steel with an ultimate tensile strength of 270ksi. The low relaxation properties
are achieved by a thermo-mechanical process called "stabilizing" wherein the strand is stretched to
a pre-determined tension and heated. This results in a substantial increase in its resistance to
relaxation.

D. MULTISTRAND SYSTEM

System W multistrand tendons are composed of varying numbers of .50" dia. or .60" dia.
(7ws) parallel strands, as required. Single tendons are available to produce an ultimate force of over
2,000,000 lbs. System W tendons maybe fabricated at Prescon plant or at job site. Normally used
 for bridges, containment structures, and other large force applications requiring a pull-through
system, all strands are stressed simultaneously.

In a multistrand system, two or more single strands are typically installed in a single duct. This duct
creates voids in the concrete and may be made of galvanized steel, HDPE or PP. Multistrand anchors
are specially designed to fit the number of strands to be accommodated and carry the concentrated
forces produced in the anchorage zone. Strands in a bonded system are typically installed inside the
duct without P/T coating. Once the strands have been stressed, the ducts are grouted to bond the
strands to the surrounding concrete and protect the strands from corrosion.

E. LIFT SLAB

Lift Slab was developed to provide a fast and economical method of building construction in
which the reinforced concrete floor and foot slab of a multi-storey structure are cast around its column
at ground level using a separating membrane between each slab and employing the ground floor as
the initial soffit form. After the slabs have matured, they are lifted by hydraulic jacks to their correct
position and then permanently connected to the columns.

F. STRUCTURAL RETROFITTING

Post-tensioning can be used in all facets of construction from buildings and bridges to
highway pavements, slab-on-ground and ground anchors. It is also used for rehabilitation and
retrofitting. Retrofitting reduces the vulnerability of damage to an existing structure during an
earthquake. In principle, an active external force is applied to the structural member using post-
tensioned (stressed) tendons to resist new loads. In most cases, post-tensioning adds a minimal, if
not negligible amount of weight to the structure. The repairs can be pre-formed quickly with very little
disruption to the occupants. Aside from producing a stronger and more serviceable structure, various
methods can be developed by the repair team that will afford the execution of a fast track schedule
yet with an economical output that is structurally elegant and aesthetically pleasing.
