Determination of the prestressing force

Determination of the prestressing force using 70% of yield limit relative to the tension cross section:

FM = 0.7 · Rp 0.2 · As [N]
F0.2 = Rp 0.2 · As [N]

 

Rp 0.2

 

for strength class 8.8
  = 640 N/mm² für d<16;
  = 660 N/mm² für d>16.

 

Rp 0.2

 

for strength class 10.9
  = 940 N/mm²

 

Rp 0.2

 

for strength class 12.9
  = 1,100 N/mm²

Therefore:

Δl = FM · δS [mm]
