The stressing records are part of the structural design and serve as a basis for the stressing operation.

Besides the prestressing data, they contain sequence of stressing and directions for procedures directly connected with stressing operation, such as lowering of the formwork and releasing of bearings. calculation of strand tendon elongation at stressing The total elongation Itot which the tendon has to achieve during stressing should be calculated as:

Itot = Ip + Ic + Isl + Ie
