range (THAILAND) LTD.the K system The Monogroup system was developped as early as 1968 by the FREYSSINET INTERNATIONAL Orga- nization. The K Range described in this brochure comprises the most recent improvements made to this type of anchorage system to satisfy the most demanding standards. It allows a very great variety of prestiessing forces over a range up to 10,200 kN at breaking load. The Monogroup K system combines the method of anchoring by individual jaws that has been proved reliable by experiments on the single strands, with the technique of simultaneous tensioning. ‘The work of quality control that FREYSSINET car- rigs out at all stages of manufacture of anchorages: meets the most severe specifications, particularly those of the nuclear, offshore, liguified gas and other industries. FREYSSINET INTERNATIONAL has also developed design and site quality assurance procedures in conformity with the requirements of all the mejor international control authorities and committees. This combination offers the design engineer the advantage of being able to select a number of compact tendons of great or of low strength. These tendons can be tensioned in one operation and are suitable for all prestressed structures, for example, nuclear reactor containment vessels for which very big tendons are needed, or building floor siabs or thin walls that only require units of low force. ae FREYSSINET INTERNATIONAL carried out in its testing center and in official laboratories, a pro- gram of exhaustive tests in order to demonstrate the conformity of all the ‘K’ range anchorages with the specifications laid down in the principal natio- nal standards such as French regulations for appro- val of prestressing processes, British Standards BS 4447, A.C.I. code 301, etc.basic components All anchorages are designed to the same principles, varying only in size and num bers of strands. Each consists of a mal Jeabie cast iron (or tabricatec) guide Incorporated in the structure which dis- Iriputes the tendon force into the concrete end block. On the guide sits the anchorage block, into which the strancs ‘are anchored by means of three-piece jaws, each locked Into tapered note. To achieve the maximum static and dynamic security in the tendon, each hole Is drilled at its correct angle in relation to the tendon pattorn and all kinks. and ‘unwanted deviations in tendons are avoi de The anchorage guide is provided with an accurate and robust method of fixing and aligning the tendon, as itis provided with Substantial shulter fixing holes and, at Its opposite end, a firm screw-type fixing Jacking anchorages for the sheath. In adaition it incorporates 4 large front-access grout injection point which, by its careful Iransition design, 8 Blockage-free. Couplers [An economic rango of souplera has been designed for simple assembly on site The irat-stage tendon is stesesd and anchored in the normal way, using stan dard eculpment, and the dead-end of the second tendon is assembled around it, Using swaged sleeves on each strand te afford. maximurn security. The coupler assembly is enclosed in a conical casing which has a grout access point for Second stage grouting Blind end anchorages The normal anchorago can bo usod in accessible dead-end positions, but for situations whore the anchorages are to {bo cast into the concroto, or are inaces: sible, a range of Blind'end anchorages ie provided. Swaged enchorages are derived from the jacking end anchorages and are provided with swadged sleeves for positive ancho- Fage of the strands embedded in the concrete. They are used when the pre ‘Siressing force Is nesded immediately bohind the anchorage in inaccessible locations. A more economical rango of bonded ‘anchorages can bo used, bul requires ‘more length to develop Its full prest sing force. ‘A compromise between the above types uses bend length and posilive anchoring by swadged sleeves, Tho K range jacks are centre-hole rams of the hydraulic double-acting type witn fixed cylinder and moving piston. The attachment of the stranc to the jack 's performed by specially designed wide- angle, multhuse jaws, which are sall- releasing on completion of jacking, The system of ramming the perma anchorages Is by elther a retaining plate ‘or mechanical rubber springs. which educe the scatter of anchorage pullin values to a minimum. A hydraulic ramming nosepiece is alter- natively available. An automatic strand gripping and hydraulic ramming front pull model is also available 3 K range jackssteel characteristics The introduction of Super Strand repre- sents a significant development for the Prestressed Concrete industy.
