Abstract:

Some recent researches have focused on strand wire damage in external prestressing tendon. When some strand wires of a grouted prestressing cable are damaged, the tension in the cable can be preserved due to the re-anchoring phenomenon. For safety issues, it is important to study the damage limit that a tendon can suffer before the rupture. While the re-anchoring of a strand is well studied, there is less literature on wire re-anchoring. In this study, we tested grouted seven-wire strands which are put under tension and then cut out wire by wire to simulate the wire damages.

The re-anchoring is observed by strain gauges installed in the strands and on the sheath. In addition, a numerical model has been developed with the help of FEM to analyse the mechanical phenomenon during and after the wire cuts. The results show that the tendon is bent and twisted because of the loss of tension and moment when one or several wires are cut off. Moreover, the strand strain is various following the gauge position in each wire and its distance to the cut section. This result contributes to the comprehension of the wire damages in grouted tendons, and could be extended to grouted multiple-strand tendons.
