 Elongation correction col.(5) due to initial Jacking force for removing initial cable slack shall be computed by linear interpolation
 Gross Cable Slip at both jacking end shall be computed by deducting the elongation remained at lock-off from the final elongation.
 Due to Jacking loss include extra force to the design Jacking force during the application of jacking force as per Jack literature.
 Before starting of stressing operation ensure that all pre-stressing equipment are in order and concrete has attained required strength.
