Anchorage selection starts with the tendon design. Confirm strand diameter, number of strands, bonded or unbonded system, stressing end/dead end arrangement and available installation space.
1. Confirm strand specification
Different wedges and anchor heads are matched to specific strand diameters. Do not select by appearance alone.
2. Confirm tendon layout
Round multi-strand anchorage, flat anchorage and monostrand anchorage serve different structural and installation conditions.
3. Match accessories as a system
Anchor heads, wedges, bearing components, ducts and stressing equipment should be checked as one system before shipment.
