1) Flat ducts possible as well

2) Flat duct PT-PLUS with rectangular slab anchorages, for PT-PLUS see also under 3.1.3.
3) If flat ducts (steel or PT PLUS) to be used with square type castings please contact your VSL representative. In plan view, tendons with slab type anchorages must be straight between anchorages or have only unidirectional turns with
min. radii of > 6 m. Strands must always be pushed-in prior to concreting. Eccentricity e: negligible
4) Given values may slightly vary depending on local availability of ducts. They are minimal for most applications. For special cases (long tendons, many curvatures, small radii etc.) greater size duct is recommended please verify with
VSL. In any case the filling ratio (cross-section steel / duct) must not exceed 0.5 (EN523).
5) Please check with the nearest VSL office for the complete anchorage list.
