The AHs are machined from cylindrical blanks made from steel bars according to the
patterns provided in Annexes A11 & A12. AHs are marked with the CCL Logo, TDC (Top
Dead Centre), Part Number and Traceability Reference for identification purposes.

There are 2 types of Anchor Head:
The Live End Anchor Head.
The Dead End Anchor Head. This AH allows the fixing of a SP to ensure correct
seating of the wedges during single end stressing.
2.2.3 Force Transfer Units
CCL ‘XM’ FTUs are manufactured from a suitable cast iron to European Standard EN
1561.
The FTUs are cast; then the bearing face, grout entry connection and tapped holes for
connection to the bearing ring/grout cap are machined according to the dimensions
provided in Annex A14. FTUs are marked with the CCL Logo, Part Number and
Traceability Reference for identification purposes.
CCL ‘XM’ FTUs have a circular bearing face (which supports the cylindrical AH) and
multiple surfaces of load transfer for transmission of prestressing force from the tendon
to the reinforced concrete that surrounds them. The FTU also supports the Jack during
stressing via a Bearing Ring (BR). Filling material entry is through a tapped hole with
parallel pipe thread EN10226 Rp 3/4 (¾ BSP) to EN 10226-1 in the face of the casting.
Venting may also take place through this connection when required. The opposite end of
the casting is internally threaded for connection of the DC.
2.2.4 Couplers
CCL ‘XM’ Couplers are manufactured from a suitable steel to European Standard EN
10083.
The Couplers are machined from cylindrical blanks made from steel bars according to the
patterns provided in Annex A13. The hole patterns of the 1st stage tendon match that of
the XM AHs. Couplers are marked with the CCL Logo, TDC (Top Dead Centre), Part
Number and Traceability Reference for identification purposes.
The 1st stage of the Coupler can be used as a Dead End anchorage when fitted with an SP
to ensure correct seating of the wedges during single end stressing.
2.2.5 Coupler Extension Rings
CCL ‘XMC’ CERs are manufactured from a suitable SG cast iron to European Standard EN
1563.
The CERs are cast; then the load-bearing faces and holes are machined according to the

and Traceability Reference for identification purposes.
CCL ‘XMC’ CERs have a recessed circular bearing face which supports the cylindrical
Coupler and transfers the prestress force to the FTU via the CRCR.
2.2.6 Deviation Cones, Coupler Reducing Cones, Sealing Caps and Ducts
CCL ‘XM’ DCs are moulded plastic cones threaded onto CCL ‘XM’ FTUs. For Encapsulated
tendons, the joint between the FTU and DC is sealed using a heat shrink sleeve. These
cones provide the deviation point for the strands in the tendon. The duct is connected to
the DC via a coupler sleeve fitted to the location lugs on the cone.
CCL ‘XMC’ CRCs are moulded plastic cones locked onto CCL ‘XM’ FTUs by CCL CRCRs
These cones provide the deviation point for the 2nd stage strands in the tendon. The duct
is connected to the CRC via a coupler sleeve fitted to the location lugs on the cone.
CCL ‘XM’ SCs are moulded plastic caps fitted with an O-Ring to CCLL ‘XM’ FTUs. These
caps completely encapsulate both types of anchor head and provide an air-tight seal.
DCs and CRCs and SCs can be manufactured from HDPE or Polypropylene according to
the dimensions provided in Annexes A16, A17 and A18 and are supplied in the colour
black. They are marked with the CCL Logo, Part Number and Traceability Reference for
identification purposes.

SPs and COSPs are marked with the CCL Logo, TDC (Top Dead Centre), Part Number and
Traceability Reference for identification purposes.
2.2.8 Coupler Reducing Cone Retaining Plates
CCL ‘XMC’ CRCRs are manufactured from steel according to the dimensions provided in
Annex A23 with hole diameters to match the bores of the CERs and FTUs. The CRCRs are
marked with the CCL Logo, TDC (Top Dead Centre), Part Number and Traceability
Reference for identification purposes.
2.2.9 Bursting Reinforcement
For each unit of the CCL ‘XM’ and ‘XMC’ PT System three types of reinforcement can be
employed:
Helices
Links
A combination of Helices and Links*
As the bursting reinforcement cannot compensate for a local defect of filling of the
concrete behind the anchorage, the designer of the structure will have to ensure that the
density and the distribution of the reinforcement in the vicinity of the anchorages allows
pouring and adequate compaction of the concrete whilst maintaining containment of the
bursting forces.
If required, the local zone reinforcement specified in the ETA and confirmed in the load
transfer test may be modified for a specific project design in accordance with national
regulations and relevant approval of the local authority and of the ETA holder to provide
equivalent performance.
The local anchorage zone bursting reinforcement design rules for the CCL ‘XM’ and ‘XMC’
PT System are based on a modified version of the equation proposed by Roberts6.

Roberts C., Behaviour and Design of the Local Anchorage Zone in Post-Tensioned Concrete. M.S. Thesis,
University of Texas at Austin, May 1990
The design rules were established on the assumption of a single anchorage in a concrete
prism tested in axial compression, with side lengths a and b (where a = b) and specimen
height equal to twice the side length. Testing was carried out with 2 mean compressive
concrete strengths; fcm,0 on cube = 30MPa and 55Mpa for units XM10-100. Additional
testing was carried out with 1 mean compressive concrete strength; fcm,0 on
cube = 46MPa for units XM10-80.
A copy of the local anchorage zone bursting reinforcement design rules for the CCL ‘XM’
and ‘XMC’ PT System is available from CCL on request.
The minimum bursting reinforcement dimensions for concrete strengths; fcm,0 on

cube = 30MPa and 55MPa for units XM10-100 are shown in Annexes A25-A29 and for
fcm,0 on cube = 46MPa for units XM10-80 see Annexes A31-A32.
*Not available for units XM10-80 with concrete strength fcm,0 on cube = 46MPa

Mp Nominal Mass per Metre of the tendon / kg/m
Ms Nominal Mass per Metre of an individual strand / g/m
The maximum allowable stressing force that can be applied to the tendon immediately
prior to lock-off must be determined in accordance with EN 1992-1.1, with values given
in the relevant national annex for k1 and k2. Values given in the tables below are
indicative values respecting recommended values by EN 1992-1.1 for k1 and k2.
Overstressing is permitted if the force in the jack can be measured to an accuracy of ± 5
% of the final value of the prestressing force. In such cases the maximum prestressing
force Pmax may be increased to k3Fp0,1ks with k3=0.95.
2.3.2 Strand Designation

Strand designation is in accordance with European Standard White Draft prEN 10138-
3:2006 "Prestressing Steels - Part 3: Strand". For example, prestressing steel strand with
a nominal tensile strength of 1860MPa, 7 wires and a nominal diameter of 15.7mm is
designated as “EN10138-3-Y1860S7-15.7”. Prestressing steel strand with a nominal
tensile strength of 1770MPa, 7 wires and a nominal diameter of 12.9mm is designated as
“EN10138-3-Y1770S7-12.9”. In the interest of simplicity and for the purpose of this
document, the various classes of strand will be referred to as Y(nominal tensile
strength)-(nominal diameter), e.g. Y1770-15.2, as the standard prEN 10138-3:2006 and
number of wires in the strand remain constant.
2.3.3 Strand Characteristics
The tendons consist of 3-55 7-wire prestressing steel strands, factory-provided with a
corrosion protection system with characteristics in accordance with prEN 10138-3:2006.
Some typical characteristics are provided in Table 2e and Annex A32.
In the absence of European standards for prestressing steel, strands complying with
national provisions and with the characteristics given in Table 2e and Annex A32 shall be
used.

2.4 CCL Stressing Jacks
The CCL ‘MG’ Stressing Jacks used for the CCL ‘XM’ and ‘XMC’ Systems have the
following features:
Automatic gripping of the wedges on the strands.
The simultaneous stressing of all the strands of the tendon.
Support of the Jack on the FTU, by means of a temporary Bearing Ring.
The simultaneous hydraulic lock-off of all the wedges in the AH.
Partial stressing of the tendons with later recovery up to the final values of the
prestressing force.
The stressing by successive loadings of the Jack when the final extension is
greater than the full extension of the CCL Jack.
Other different Jacks may be used by the CCL Specialist PT Distribution/Licence

Company, provided their suitability to the CCL ‘XM’ and ‘XMC’ Anchorages is approved by
CCL before use.
Manuals and procedures are supplied with each CCL Stressing Jack.
Various dimensions and characteristics of CCL ‘MG’ Stressing Jacks are given in
Annex A33 & A34. CCL ‘MG’ Jacks are marked on the Outer Cylinder with their Serial
Numbers for identification purposes.
Different Jack innards are required for each system type.

2.5 Friction Losses
With Post-Tensioned steel the effect of friction may be the single greatest factor causing
loss of prestress. There are three main causes of friction loss in the Post-Tensioned
tendon:
Friction due to the deviation of the tendon through the anchorage.
Friction between the tendon and the duct due to unintentional lack of
alignment (or wobble) of the duct.
Friction due to the curvature of the duct.
Friction Loss in CCL ‘XM’ and ‘XMC’ anchorages determined from testing is 2-3%.
Friction Loss in the duct for Post-Tensioned tendons can be estimated from:
(
∆Pµ ( x ) = Pmax 1 − e
− µ (θ + kx )
)
Where:
∆Pµ ( x ) = losses due to friction

Pmax = force at the active end during tensioning
θ = sum of the angular displacements over a distance x (irrespective of direction or sign)
µ = coefficient of friction between the tendon and its duct
k = unintentional angular displacement (per unit length)
x = distance along the tendon from the point where the prestressing force is equal to Pmax
The values for coefficient of friction, µ, and unintentional angular displacement, k, should
be in line with EN 1992 Eurocode 2: Design of Concrete Structures, as shown in
Table 2m.

When the tendon to be controlled has 2 Active/LE anchorages, i.e. with the tendon being
able to be stressed with the Jack at both ends, the measurement on site of the friction
loss of the tendon is possible by comparing the load applied by one Jack to the load
measured on the other Jack.
2.6 Anchorage Wedge Set
CCL ‘X’ Range Jacks are equipped with a hydraulic lock-off system ensuring even seating
of the wedges in the AH and Coupler before removal of the Jack. After the transfer of
load from the Jack to the anchorage, the strand and wedges draw a little further into the
AH or Coupler. This further movement is known as wedge set. The wedge set leads to a
loss of tension in the strand, which must be taken into account in the load
loss/elongation calculations.
The values for wedge set to be used in the calculations for all tendons are:
For active anchorages with Jacks with hydraulic lock-off:
Wedge Set, g = 6mm ±2mm
For passive anchorages with spring-loaded retaining plates:
Wedge Set, g = 8mm ±2mm
2.7 Tendon Elongation
The force in the tendon during stressing is measured with a hydraulic pressure gauge.
Elastic elongation of the tendon can also be used to monitor this force. The designer
specifies an expected elongation (including acceptable tolerance). The following formula
can be used to estimate the elongation:
PLt
δ =
(A E )
p s
Where:
δ = elongation of the tendon

P = average force in a tendon
Lt = tendon length between anchorages
Ap = nominal cross-sectional area of a tendon
Es = modulus of elasticity of the tendon steel

Before being stressed, a tendon almost always has slack in it, so a tendon is usually
partially stressed up to a value of about 10% of the specified jacking force (CCL
recommend a datum of 1/3 of the specified stressing load, F0). This point is then taken
as the reference zero point for the measurement of elongation. The measurement is
taken from the extension of the jack; therefore Lt must include the length of the tendon
within the jack between the anchor head and the jack wedges. It is also necessary that
the elongation measured from the reference point is multiplied by a correction factor
before being compared to the estimated elongation specified by the designer.
2.8 Spacing of the Supports
For tendons in corrugated steel or plastic ducts, the maximum spacing of the supports
will be 1.0m for straight sections or sections with large radii of curvature, or 0.5m for
sections with small radii of curvature. For tendons in smooth steel tubes, spacing could
be increased according to the rigidity of the tube and its slope, but can not exceed 3.0m.
The supports carrying the ducting should be sufficiently strong to carry the weight of the
duct and the strands passing through it when threaded prior to concreting, as well as the
forces occurring during and after concreting, including compaction of the concrete.
2.9 Radii of Curvature
Generally radii of curvature depend on duct type. The formula below is used to calculate
minimum radii of curvature (Rmin). The following values specified for Rmin are within those
successfully used from known experience (French Fascicule 65, chapter 11). Minimum
radii of curvature must comply with national regulations.
2 F0 d
Rmin =
( PRmax Øi )
When the number of individual tendon strands (n) < 5, Rmin = 100Øi
Where:
PRmax = maximum allowable pressure under a strand (130-150kN/m2)

Øi = internal diameter of the duct
For internal prestressing, the table below shows indicative values for 15.7mm strand with
PRmax = 150kN/m2

When 3000mm < R < 6000mm, the coefficient of friction, µ, depends on the radius of
curvature, R.
The minimum radius of curvature can be decreased to 20Øi assuming:
when R ≤ 3000mm, the load along the curve is limited to 0.70Fpk
the total deviation, α ≤ 1.5π
the curved zone is considered as a dead end anchorage if, in this zone,
α ≥ 0.5π

2.10 Compressive Strength of Concrete
The mean compressive strength of concrete at which full prestressing is permitted, fcm,0,
specified by the designer of the structure must be greater than or equal to 30MPa cube
strength. In the case of partial stressing of a standard anchorage to 50% of Fpk, the
minimum mean compressive strength of concrete could be reduced by 30%.
2.11 Anchorage Spacing and Concrete Cover
Taking into account the tested values of mean compressive concrete strength, fcm,0,
(30MPa and 55MPa cube strength for units XM10-100); the test specimen side lengths of
the end block (a and b) are provided in Annex A24 for 3 levels of mean compressive
concrete strength.
For values of fcm,0 between 30MPa and 55MPa cube strength, a and b can be determined
by straight line interpolation, as is the case for values quoted for fcm,0 on cube = 45MPa.
For the tested value of mean compressive strength, fcm,0, (46MPa cube strength for units
XM10-80); the test specimen side lengths of the end block (a and b) are provided in
Annex A30.

The minimum concrete cover from the reinforcement to the edge of the structure, cmin,
should be established according to EN 1992 Eurocode 2: Design of Concrete Structures
and must be taken into account when determining the minimum distances from the axis
of an anchorage to the edge of the structure (x1 and y1).
Given the test specimen side lengths a and b in Annex A24 and A30, the minimum
distances between two axes of anchorages (x2 and y2) and to the edge of the structure
(x1 and y1) result from the following formulae (where c is the concrete cover):

The category(ies) of use;
“For further information, refer to the ETA”.
4 Assumptions Under Which the Fitness of the Products for

the Intended Use was Favourably Assessed
4.1 Manufacturing
The European Technical Approval is issued for the product on the basis of agreed
data/information deposited with Sétra, which identifies the product that has been
assessed and judged. Changes to the product or production process, which could result in
this deposited data/information being incorrect, should be notified to Sétra before the
changes are introduced. Sétra will decide whether or not such changes affect the ETA
and consequently the validity of the CE marking on the basis of the ETA and if so
whether further assessment or alterations to the ETA shall be necessary.
4.2 Installation
4.2.1 ‘XM’ and ‘XMC’ Anchorages
The FTU is fixed to the formwork, then the DC is screwed into the FTU, in the case of the
encapsulated system, the joint between the FTU and DC is sealed using a heat shrink
sleeve. The local bursting reinforcement is attached with the general reinforcement.
The ducting is connected, and the sealing of the connection between the duct and the
anchorage is carried out, either by an adhesive sealing tape, or a heat-shrink sleeve, in
the case of the encapsulated system, a plastic sleeve and a heat-shrink sleeve are used
at each duct connection.
To facilitate the installation of the AH or Coupler and the wedges a sufficient open space
must be reserved behind each anchorage. This open space must also allow for
implementation of sealing caps.
Setting out dimensions of the anchorage and space reserved behind each anchorage are
to be checked before concreting.
AH or Coupler (1st Stage) and wedges are assembled immediately prior to stressing of
the tendon in order to avoid corrosion.

4.2.1.1 Active Anchorages
Sufficient space must be reserved behind the anchorage for the installation and operation
of the stressing Jack.
Stressing must only be carried out when the concrete has cured to the required minimum
compressive strength.
The cut length of the strands, calculated from exposed face of the FTU must be sufficient
to allow installation of the AH or Coupler and wedges, the threading of the stressing Jack
and insertion of the Jack wedges. These lengths should be checked with the local agent
to ensure the suitability to the particular stressing Jack to be used.
4.2.1.2 Passive Anchorages
For tendons where the tension is applied at one end only, a dead end anchorage can be
used. The wedge retaining plates and springs are fixed to the AH or Coupler holding the
wedges in place with sufficient force to help prevent wedge-stepping.
The cut length of the strands, calculated from exposed face of the FTU must be sufficient
to allow installation of the AH or Coupler and wedges, then the locking of the wedges
with the retaining plate and springs. An extra length of 50mm beyond the AH or Coupler
is necessary.
4.2.1.3 Deviators for External Tendons
For this ETA, no deviators has been tested according to the deviated tendon test of
ETAG 013. Unless there are stricter regulations at the place of use, external tendon
deviators must be in line with French Fascicule 65 of C.C.T.G. – chapter 11.
4.2.2 Pre-Sealing and Grouting of Anchorages
After stressing and cutting back of the tendon, CCL ‘XM’ and ‘XMC’ anchorages can be
equipped with temporary or permanent sealing caps fixed onto the FTU or coupler,
respectively. This makes it possible to inject the ducts before the final sealing.
4.2.3 Corrosion Protection
After stressing of the tendon, the free volume between the duct and the strands is filled
to protect the tendon from corrosion.
CCL ‘XM’ and ‘XMC’ anchorages shall be injected with a corrosion protection substance in
accordance with the local regulations and with the specifications of implementation laid
out by CCL.
Corrosion protection is usually carried out in internal prestressing in concrete by a

cement grout which ensures a mechanical connection between the reinforcement and the
concrete structure. Common grouts must comply with requirements of EN 445, EN 446
and ETAG 013. Common grout to be used should have been subject to and have results
of the inclined tube test as laid out in ETAG 013.
Grouting procedures should conform to EN 447 and fib Bulletin No. 20 “Grouting of
tendons in prestressed concrete”. Manufacture and the placement of a cement grout
must respect the local specifications and the guidelines laid out in ETAG 013.
Greases and Waxes of various origins can be used with the CCL ‘XM’ System, especially
for external PT. Greases and Waxes must conform to the specifications of ETAG 013
(Annex C.4.1 for Grease and Annex C.4.2 for Wax).
Grease and Waxes have not been tested for the delivery of this ETA and they shall
comply with EN447 and ETAG013 Annex C.4.3.
An up to date list of corrosion protection products that can be used with the CCL ‘XM’ and
‘XMC’ System is available from CCL.
5 Indications to the Manufacturer
5.1 Packaging, Transport and Storage
For delivery to construction sites, the anchorage components are usually supplied in the
following ways:
Wedges – Packed in 50-150 units in plastic packing with CCL labelling.
Anchor Heads and Couplers – Packed in cases of wood, metal or board

protected in a suitable way against the elements.
Force Transfer Units and Coupler Extension Rings – Packed on pallets

protected in a suitable way against the elements.
Sealing Caps, Deviation and Coupler Reducing Cones – Packed on pallets

protected in a suitable way against the elements and to avoid excessive
exposure to heat.
Required components are usually delivered as follows:
Before concreting – Force Transfer Units, Deviation Cones and Duct.
Before setting stressing - Strand, Anchor Heads, Couplers, Coupler

Extension Rings, Coupler Outer Spring Plates, Coupler Reducing Cone
Retainers, Coupler Reducing Cones, Sealing Caps and Wedges.
Between the reception of these components and their implementation it must be ensured
that adequate corrosion protection of these components is taken by observing the
following conditions of storage:
Force Transfer Units, Coupler Extension Rings, Coupler Outer Spring Plates,
Coupler Reducing Cone Retainers, Deviation Cones, Coupler Reducing Cones
and Sealing Caps - Store on pallets and cover with sheeting to shelter from
adverse weather conditions.
Anchor Heads and Couplers - Store in cases or baskets inside a closed area
(site store or container, etc.).
Wedges - Retain them in the supplied original packing, and store the packing
in a closed area as for the Anchor Heads.
Duct and Strands - Store them on supports raising the material off the
ground and cover them with sheeting or similar materials so that the
circulation of air is ensured under the covering. Plastic duct should be stored
carefully to avoid excessive exposure to heat and supported sufficiently to
ensure duct is kept straight (usually supported at approximately 1 metre
intervals).
5.2 Use, Maintenance, Repair
