The standard supplements ENV 1992-1-1, ENV 1992-2 and the "European Technical ApprovalGuideline of post-tensioning kits for prestressing of structures (these are commonly called Post-TensioningSystems)", ETAG 013.Annex A is informative.According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the followingcountries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic,Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania,Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerlandand United Kingdom.SIST EN 13391:2004



EN 13391:2004 (E)41 ScopeThis European Standard specifies the test procedures for the anchorages and couplings of post-tensioningsystems. This standard is to be used in conjunction with the relevant European Standards ENV 1992-1-1 andENV 1992-2 and others for pertaining to prestressed concrete structures.The test results should be used for the acquisition of the Technical Approval of the specified post-tensioningsystem.For unbonded tendons additional tests and requirements are needed and these are not covered in the presentscope of this standard.2 Normative referencesNot applicable.3 Terms, definitions and symbolsFor the purposes of this European Standard, the following terms, definitions and symbols apply.3.1 Definitions3.1.1Anchoragemechanical device, usually consisting of several components designed to reliably and safely retain the force inthe stressed tendon and to transmit it to the concrete. Anchorages can be either of the two types specifiedbelow:¾ Stressing anchorage: an anchorage located at the end of a tendon which can be used for stressing. It isexposed until grouting has been carried out and the anchorage sealed.¾ Fixed anchorage: an anchorage which is not used for tendon stressing.3.1.2Anchorage zonelocal zone in the structure through which the prestressing force is transferred to the structure via theanchorage3.1.3Bursting reinforcementreinforcement in the anchorage zone

The stipulated requirements pertain to the described tests. Figures are given in annex A.4.1.2 Specification of systemPrior to testing, the principal details of the prestressing system shall be made known as far as they relate tothe tests, e.g. by the technical report or specification of system.4.1.3 Laboratory, testing facilityGenerally, the tests shall be performed by an independent and notified laboratory. However, facilities providedby the applicant may be used, if the tests are executed under the surveillance and responsibility of such alaboratory.4.1.4 Materials and components for the testsAll tests should be performed with the type and grade of prestressing steel and with the anchoragecomponents as intended for application. If the anchorage to be used requires mechanical treatment of theprestressing steel, the effects of such treatment should be considered and justified.The geometrical and mechanical properties of anchorage components as well as the tolerance range ofdimensions shall be made known.For the load transfer test the grade of concrete for the application of the post-tensioning system shall be asdefined in the specifications. The grade of concrete is specified by its characteristic compressive concretestrength at 28 days, fck, this being determined in accordance with relevant standards. The minimum concretecompressive strength at which full prestress can be applied on site shall be specified. It can be defined eitheras the mean compressive strength fcm,o or as the minimum characteristic compressive strength, fck,o of theconcrete of the anchorage zone. These values are assumed to be related to each other by:fck,o = fcm,o – 8 MPa.(The properties of the concrete for the specimens are given in 4.2.3.2 and 4.2.3.3)4.1.5 Types of testThe tests are performed according to the method of anchoring the prestressing steel. A distinction is madebetween:SIST EN 13391:2004



EN 13391:2004 (E)7¾ Anchorages formed by mechanical means: the prestressing steel is fixed to an anchorage element bymeans of mechanical devices such as wedges, button heads, threads, etc. Anchoring may also beachieved by forming the prestressing steel in a loop around a steel element, etc.¾ Bond anchorages: the prestressing steel is anchored in the concrete before the stressing force is appliedto the tendon. The anchoring may either be achieved by bond alone or partially by a mechanical deviceand partially by bond.The tests pertain to tendon-anchorage assemblies and anchorage zones of bonded and unbonded, interior orexterior tendons. Couplings, which connect two tendons to form a continuous tendon, shall be tested in thesame way as anchorages with mechanical means.In carrying out a test items may also be combined, for instance:¾ mechanical anchorage – coupling – mechanical anchorage.¾ mechanical anchorage – anchorage by bond.Three types of tests are to be performed: static load test, fatigue test and load transfer test.4.2 Testing of systems with mechanical anchorages4.2.1 Static load test with tendon-anchorage assembly4.2.1.1 GeneralThe aim of the test is to assess the performance of the tendon-anchorage assembly and to determine anydecrease of the breaking load of the prestressing steel due to the influence of the anchorage. The test alsopertains to couplers.4.2.1.2 Test specimenThe tendon to be tested shall be assembled according to the envisaged application, using all componentsnecessary for anchoring the tendon. Components for testing shall be randomly selected. The geometricalconfiguration of the individual tensile elements in the specimen shall be identical to that of the specifiedtendon assembly given in the European Technical Approval (ETA). The following data of the tensile elementsshall be established :¾ main mechanical and geometrical properties of the tensile elements, including the actual ultimatestrength;¾ calculated actual ultimate force Fpm;¾ mean total cross-section of tensile elements Apm;¾ surface characteristics of tensile elements.Relevant geometrical and mechanical properties of anchorage components shall also be determined. The freelength of the tensile elements in the tendon specimen to be tested shall not be less than 3,0 m, except for bartendons with a minimum length of 1,0 m. If more than one grade of tensile elements of the same type is to beused with the same type of anchorage, the tests shall be performed using the grade with the highestcharacteristic tensile strength, and/or load capacity.SIST EN 13391:2004



EN 13391:2004 (E)84.2.1.3 Test procedureThe tendon specimen is mounted in the test rig or testing machine, observing the same geometricalconfiguration of the individual tensile elements in the specimen to that specified in the ETA.The tendon is stressed at one end with representative equipment comparable to the one used on constructionsite, and specified in the ETA, in steps corresponding to 0,2, 0,4, 0,6 and 0,8 of the characteristic tensilestrength of the tensile elements. The load is increased at a constant rate corresponding to about 100 MPa perminute. At 0,8 level, the load is transf
