Sheathing and Corrosion Protection
For conventional applications, corrugated galvanised
steel ducts are used.
For applications requiring enhanced corresion
protection and improved fatigue resistance of the
tendons, use of the VSL PT-PLUS™ System with
corrugated plastic duct is recommended, This fully
encapsulated and watertight system offers super
corrosion protection, and the plastic duct eliminates
fretting fatigue between the strand and duct. It also

provides reduced duct fiction. The PT-PLUS™
‘System may, in conjunction with VSL CS
Anchorages, be configured with special details and
installation techniques to provide Electrically Isolated
‘Tendons. These tendons may be electrically
‘monitored at any time throughout the life of the
structure
All ducts are manufactured in a varity of standard
lengths and are coupled on site.
STRAND BUNDLE BONDED SLAB POST-TENSIONING SYSTEM
VSL bonded slab post-tensioning is used
for all types of slabs in buildings, bridge
decks and similar applications.
VSL bonded slab post-tensioning tendons consist of up to four
strands of 13 mm (0.5") or 15 mm (0.6") diameter, placed in flat
duets, with corresponding anchorages. The strands are stressed
and locked-off individually, Placing and grouting procedures are
similar to those for the VSL multistrand system. Corrugated or
smooth steel ducts as well as corrugated polyethylene ducts of the
VSL PT-PLUS™ system are available.
Slab post-tensioning enables deflections and cracks under service
conditions to be kept under control. This permits larger spans and
thinner slabs to be used. The reduced costs of materials and
labour result in lower costs and faster construction. Usually there
are also important indirect savings on foundations, columns, walls
and vertical services.

‘Sressing anchorage
EXTERNAL POST-TENSIONING SYSEM
Externally post-tensioned bridges are
becoming increasingly popular, because
© of: economic and aesthetic considerations
in conjunction with modem bridge building methods; the
possibility of monitoring the prestressing forces in the structure
and if necessary modifying them; the ease of inspection and the
replaceability of external tendons. Extemal tendons are also
well suited for the strengthening of existing structures
External VSL tendons consist of:
a strand bundle;
a duct of polyethylene or steel
end and intermediate anchorages as well as tendon couplers;
‘a grouting compound.
External tendons, usually guided polygonally over
suitable deviation saddles, have many similarities to stay cables
and permanent soil and rock anchors. Detailed information
about design and construction is given in the VSL publication
‘External Post-Tensioning’.
