• Friction
• Anchor Set Specific to post-tensioning
• Elastic Shortening
• Shrinkage
• Creep Similar to pre-tensioning
• Relaxation
• 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
