Tendon Properties 25
A. MATERIAL AND TENDON TYPE
• Internal (Pre-Tension): Prestressing tendons prior to casting concrete, which transmits prestress through
bonding between concrete and tendons
• Internal (Post-Tension): Post-tensioning tendons through hardened concrete members - tendons are gra
dually stressed and anchored to the members.
• External: Tendons are placed external to concrete members and stressed.

5. Input Part 1:
Age = “28”
6. OK h = “0.29”
Part 2:
Age = “10”
h = “0.277”
- h is for the Notional Size of Member for each part (use Update All H to auto-calculate)
Notes
- Age – specify the age for each part when it will activate. The age in the Define Construction Stage dialog box will be
ignored.

Loadings – Response Spectrum 101

1000-year Return Period Seismic Map of the Philippines
Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) Spectral Acceleration at 0.2 second (Ss) Spectral Acceleration at 1.0 second (S1)
1000-year Return Period 1000-year Return Period 1000-year Return Period
To Generate the Response Spectrum Function, we need to refer to DPWH-LRFD Bridge Seismic Design
Notes
Specification (BSDS) Contour Maps (3.4.1-1 to 3.4.1-3) for the value of Peak Ground Acceleration Coefficient (PGA)
and Spectral Acceleration Coefficient at Periods 0.2 & 1.0 Second (Ss & S1), based on the location of the project.
Step

1000-year Return Period Seismic Map of the Philippines – Region II
Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) Spectral Acceleration at 0.2 second (Ss) Spectral Acceleration at 1.0 second (S1)
1000-year Return Period 1000-year Return Period 1000-year Return Period
For Quirino Area:

Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) : 0.60
Spectral Acceleration at 0.2sec (Ss) : 1.50
Spectral Acceleration at 0.1sec (S1) : 0.60
- Let’s say that the location of the project is in Quirino Province.

Notes
- For the general procedure of Seismic Design, you may Refer to DPWH-BSDS 3.4.1.
- Based on the code, if the location is between 2 different spectral data, the higher value will govern.
