IS : 1343 - 2012, , Indian Standard, CODE OF PRACTICE FOR, PRESTRESSED CONCRETE, , ( First revision ), 0. F O R E W O R D, 0.1 This Indian Standard (First Revision) was adopted by the Indian, Standards Institution on 30 December 1980, after the draft finalized, by the Cement and Concrete Sectional Committee had been approved, by the Civil Engineering Division Council., 0.2 This standard was first published in 1960. This revision was taken, up with a view to keeping abreast with the rapid development in the, field of concrete technology and also to bring in further clarifications, and modifications in the light of experience gained while applying the, provisions of the earlier version of the code to practical situations., 0.3 The format and arrangement of clauses in the code have been, changed from the earlier version. The matter has now been divided, into four sections as follows:, Section 1 General, Section 2 Materials, Workmanship, Inspection and Testing, Section 3 General Design Requirements, Section 4 Structural Design: Limit State Method, 0.3.1 In this revision, an attempt has been made to unify the codal, provisions between prestressed concrete structures and reinforced, concrete structures, as is necessary. As a result, many of the provisions, in Section 2 Materials, Workmanship, Inspection and Testing and, Section 3 General Design Requirements of IS : 456-1978* apply to, prestressed concrete structures and, therefore, only reference has been, made to such provisions in this code., 0.3.2 In some clauses, the code recommends reference to specialist, literature, since the current knowledge on some aspects of design has, not yet crystallized. This has also been done in order to avoid, burdening the code with a lot of details which may not be required for, the design of great majority of structures., *Code of practice for plain and reinforced concrete ( third revision )., , 6

IS : 1343 - 2012, 0.3.3 SI Units have been used in this code, the values of stresses being, in units of N/mm2. While converting the values from the earlier units, of kg/cm2, the values have been rationalized rather than giving the, exact conversion., 0.3.4 While deciding on the symbols used in this code, the, recommendations of ISO 3898-1976* have been taken into, consideration. However, considering the convenience of the users of, the code, the familiar symbols of the old version have been retained to, the extent possible., 0.4 This revision incorporates a number of important changes. The, major changes in this revision are on the following lines:, a) The concept of limit state which provides a rational approach,, taking into account variations in material strengths and loads on, semi-probabilistic basis, has been introduced. This, in fact, is a, rationalization of the ultimate load method, covered in the earlier, version., b) Provision for intermediate degrees of prestress (partial prestress), has been included. Consequently, the code covers 3 types of, structures, the types being associated with the permissible, tensile stress in concrete., c) The method of design for shear and torsion has been completely, revised, incorporating the results of the latest research on the, subject., d) Recommendations regarding transmission length of prestressing, tendons have been elaborated., e) Recommendations for ensuring lateral stability during handling, and erection have been modified., f) Considerations regarding durability have been detailed with, guidance concerning minimum cement content and maximum, water-cement ratio for different environmental conditions,, including types of cement to be used for resisting sulphate attack., Limitations on total chloride and sulphate content of concrete, have also been given., 0.4.1 In IS : 456-1978†, major changes have been incorporated in, provisions relating to materials, workmanship, inspection and testing,, and general design requirements. In view of the attempt at unification, between the provisions of reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete, codes, these changes are relevant to prestressed concrete code also, wherever reference has been made to related provisions of, IS : 456-1978†., *Bases for design of structures — Notations — General symbols., †Code of practice for plain and reinforced concrete ( third revision )., , 7

IS : 1343 - 2012, 0.5 In this code, it has been assumed that the design of prestressed, concrete structures is entrusted to a qualified engineer, and that the, execution of the work is carried out under the direction of an, experienced supervisor., 0.6 The Sectional Committee, responsible for the preparation of this, standard, has taken into consideration the views of manufacturers,, users, engineers, architects, builders and technologists and has related, the standard to the manufacturing and trade practices followed in this, country in this field. Due weightage has also been given to the need for, international co-ordination among standards prevailing in different, countries of the world. These considerations led the Sectional, Committee to derive assistance from the following:, ACI 318-77 ACI Standard building code requirements for reinforced, concrete. American Concrete Institute., CP 110 : Part I : 1972 Code of practice for the structural use of, concrete: Part I Design, materials and workmanship. British, Standards Institution., AS 1481-1974 SAA Prestressed concrete code. Standards Association, of Australia., Assistance has also been derived from the published documents of the, following organizations:, Comite Euro — International Du Beton, International Standards Organization, 0.7 This edition 2.1 incorporates Amendment No. 1 (October 2012)., Side bar indicates modification of the text as the result of, incorporation of the amendment., 0.8 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of, this standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated,, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in, accordance with IS : 2-1960*. The number of significant places, retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the, specified value in this standard., SECTION 1, , GENERAL, , 1. SCOPE, 1.1 This code deals with the general structural use of prestressed, concrete. It covers both work carried out on site and the manufacture, of precast prestressed concrete units., 1.2 Special requirements of structures such as pipes and poles covered, in respective codes have not been covered in this code; these codes, shall be used in conjunction with this code., *Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revised )., , 8

IS : 1343 - 2012, 5. CONCRETE, 5.1 Grades — The concrete shall be in grades designated as per Table 1., 5.1.1 The characteristic strength of concrete is defined as the strength, of the concrete below which not more than 5 percent of the test results, are expected to fall., TABLE 1 GRADES OF CONCRETE, ( Clauses 5.1, 5.2.1, 8.2.1 and 20.1 ), GRADE DESIGNATION, , SPECIFIED CHARACTERISTIC, COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH, AT 28 DAYS, N/mm2, (1), (2), 30, M 30, 35, M 35, 40, M 40, 45, M 45, 50, M 50, 55, M 55, 60, M 60, NOTE 1 — In the designation of a concrete mix, letter M refers to the mix and the, number to the specified characteristic compressive strength of 15-cm cube at 28 days,, expressed in N/mm2., NOTE 2 — For pre-tensioned prestressed concrete, the grade of concrete shall be not, less than M 40., , 5.2 Properties of Concrete, 5.2.1 Increase in Strength with Age — Where it can be shown that a, member will not receive its full design stress within a period of 28 days, after the casting of the member (for example, in foundations and lower, columns in multi-storey buildings); the characteristic compressive, strength given in Table 1 may be increased by multiplying by the, factors given below:, Minimum Age of Member When, Age Factor, Full Design Stress is Expected, (Months), 1.0, 1, 1.10, 3, 1.15, 6, 1.20, 12, NOTE 1 — Where members are subjected to lower direct load during construction,, they should be checked for stresses resulting from combination of direct load and, bending during construction., NOTE 2 — The design strength shall be based on the increased value of compressive, strength., , 15

Page 17 :
IS : 1343 - 2012, 5.2.2 Tensile Strength of Concrete — The flexural strength shall be, obtained as per IS : 516-1959*. When the designer wishes to use an, estimate of the flexural strength from the compressive strength, the, following formula may be used:, fcr = 0.7 f ck N/mm2, where, fcr = flexural strength in N/mm2, and, fck = characteristic compressive strength of concrete in N/mm2., 5.2.3 Elastic Deformation — The modulus of elasticity is primarily, influenced by the elastic properties of the aggregate and to a lesser, extent by the conditions of curing and age of the concrete, the mix, proportions and the type of cement. The modulus of elasticity is, normally related to the compressive strength of concrete., 5.2.3.1 In the absence of test data, the modulus of elasticity for, structural concrete may be assumed as follows:, Ec = 5 700 f ck, where, Ec = short-term static modulus of elasticity in N/mm2, and, fck = characteristic compressive strength of concrete in N/mm2., 5.2.4 Shrinkage — The shrinkage of concrete depends upon the, constituents of concrete, size of the member and environmental, conditions. For a given environment, the shrinkage of concrete is most, influenced by the total amount of water present in the concrete at the, time of mixing and, to a lesser extent, by the cement content., 5.2.4.1 In the absence of test data, the approximate value of shrinkage, strain for design shall be assumed as follows:, For pre-tensioning = 0.000 3, 0.000 2, For post-tensioning = ----------------------------------Log 10 ( t + 2 ), where, t = age of concrete at transfer in days., NOTE — The value of shrinkage strain for design of post-tensioned concrete may be, increased by 50 percent in dry atmospheric conditions, subject to a maximum value, of 0.000 3., , 5.2.4.2 For the calculation of deformation of concrete at some stage, before the maximum shrinkage is reached, it may be assumed that, *Methods of test for strength of concrete., , 16

Page 18 :
IS : 1343 - 2012, half of the shrinkage takes place during the first month and that about, three-quarters of the shrinkage takes place in first six months after, commencement of drying., 5.2.5 Creep of Concrete — Creep of concrete depends, in addition to the, factors listed in 5.2.4 on the stress in the concrete, age at loading and, the duration of loading. As long as the stress in concrete does not, exceed one-third of characteristic compressive strength, creep may be, assumed to be proportional to the stress., 5.2.5.1 In the absence of experimental data and detailed information, on the effect of the variables, the ultimate creep strain may be, estimated from the following values of creep coefficient (that is,, ultimate creep strain/elastic strain at the age of loading):, Age at Loading, Creep Coefficient, 7 days, 2.2, 28 days, 1.6, 1 year, 1.1, NOTE — The ultimate creep strain estimated as per 5.2.5.1 does not include the, elastic strain., , 5.2.5.2 For the calculation of deformation at some stage before the, total creep is reached, it may be assumed that about half the total, creep takes place in the first month after loading and that about, three-quarters of the total creep takes place in the first six months, after loading., 5.2.6 Thermal Expansion — The coefficient of thermal expansion, depends on nature of cement, the aggregate, the cement content, the, relative humidity and the size of sections. For values of coefficient of, thermal expansion for concrete with different aggregates, clause 5.2.6, of IS : 456-1978* may be referred to., 6. WORKABILITY OF CONCRETE, 6.1 The concrete mix proportions chosen should be such that the, concrete is of adequate workability for the placing conditions of the, concrete and can properly be compacted with the means available., Suggested ranges of values of workability of concrete are given in, IS : 456-1978*., 7. DURABILITY, 7.1 The durability of concrete depends on its resistance to, deterioration and the environment in which it is placed. The resistance, *Code of practice for plain and reinforced concrete ( third revision )., , 17

Page 19 :
IS : 1343 - 2012, of concrete to weathering, chemical attack, abrasion, frost and fire, depends largely upon its quality and constituent materials. The, strength alone is not a reliable guide to the quality and durability of, concrete; it must also have an adequate cement content and a low, water-cement ratio., 7.1.1 One of the main characteristics influencing the durability of, concrete is its permeability. With strong, dense aggregates, a suitably, low permeability is achieved by having a sufficiently low water-cement, ratio, by ensuring as thorough compaction of the concrete as possible, and by ensuring sufficient hydration of cement through proper curing, methods. Therefore, for given aggregates, the cement content should, be sufficient to provide adequate workability with a low water-cement, ratio so that concrete can be thoroughly compacted with the means, available., 7.2 Appendix A provides guidance regarding minimum cement content, and permissible limits of chloride and sulphate in concrete., 8. CONCRETE MIX PROPORTIONING, 8.1 Mix Proportion — The mix proportions shall be selected to, ensure that the workability of the fresh concrete is suitable for the, conditions of handling and placing, so that after compaction it, surrounds all prestressing tendons and reinforcements if present and, completely fills the formwork.

No reduction in the value of the relaxation losses, should be made for a tendon with a load equal to or greater than the, relevant jacking force that has been applied for a short time prior to, the anchoring of the tendon., 18.5.2.4 Loss of prestress due to shortening of concrete — This type of, loss occurs when the prestressing tendons upon release from, tensioning devices cause the concrete to be compressed. This loss is, proportional to the modular ratio and initial prestress in the concrete, and shall be calculated as below, assuming that the tendons are, located at their centroid:, a) For pretensioning, the loss of prestress in the tendons at transfer, shall be calculated on a modular ratio basis using the stress in, the adjacent concrete., b) For members with post-tensioned tendons which are not stressed, simultaneously, there is a progressive loss of prestress during, transfer due to the gradual application of the prestressing forces., This loss of prestress should be calculated on the basis of half the, product of the stress in the concrete adjacent to the tendons, averaged along their lengths and the modular ratio., Alternatively, the loss of prestress may be exactly computed, based on the sequence of tensioning., 18.5.2.5 Loss of prestress due to slip in anchorage — Any loss of, prestress which may occur due to slip of wires during anchoring or due, to the strain of anchorage shall be allowed for in the design. Loss due, to slip in anchorage is of special importance with short members and, the necessary additional elongation should be provided for at the time, of tensioning to compensate for this loss., 18.5.2.6 Loss of prestress due to friction — The design shall take into, consideration all losses in prestress that may occur during tensioning, due to friction between the prestressing tendons and the surrounding, concrete or any fixture attached to the steel or concrete., For straight or moderately curved structures, with curved or straight, cables, the value of prestressing force Px at a distance x metres from, tensioning end and acting in the direction of the tangent to the curve of, the cable, shall be calculated as below:, Px = Poe– ( µα + kx ), where, Po = prestressing force in the prestressed steel at the tensioning, end acting in the direction of the tangent to the curve of the, cable,, 33

In the absence of, values based on actual tests, the following values may be used,, provided the concrete is well-compacted, and its strength at, transfer is not less than 35 N/mm2 and the tendon is released, gradually:, 1) For plain and indented wire, 100φ, 2) For crimped wires, 65φ, 3) Strands, 30φ, NOTE 1 — φ is the diameter of the tendon., , NOTE 2 — The recommended values of transmission length apply to wires of, diameter not exceeding 5 mm and strands of diameter not exceeding 18 mm., , 34

IS : 1343 - 2012, c) The development of stress in the tendon may be assumed to vary, parabolically along the length of the member., d) For general guidance, it is recommended that one-half of the, transmission length shall overhang the support in a simply, supported beam. Where there is end-fixing, the whole of the, transmission length shall overhang., 18.6.2 End Zone, 18.6.2.1 Bearing stress, a) On the areas immediately behind external anchorages, the, permissible unit bearing stress on the concrete, after accounting, for all losses due to relaxation of steel, elastic shortening, creep of, concrete, slip and/or seating of anchorages, etc, shall not exceed, A br, 0.48 fci ------------ or 0.8 fci whichever is smaller, where fci is the cube, A pun, strength at transfer, Abr is the bearing area and Apun is the, punching area., b) During tensioning, the allowable bearing stress specified in a), may be increased by 25 percent, provided that this temporary, value does not exceed fci., c) The bearing stress specified in (a) and (b) for permanent and, temporary bearing stress may be increased suitably if adequate, hoop reinforcement complying with IS : 456-1978* is provided at, the anchorages., d) When the anchorages are embedded in concrete, the bearing, stress shall be investigated after accounting for the surface, friction between the anchorage and the concrete., e) The effective punching area shall generally be the contact area of, the anchorage devices which, if circular in shape, shall be, replaced by a square of equivalent area. The bearing area shall be, the maximum area of that portion of the member which is, geometrically similar and concentric to the effective punching, area., f) Where a number of anchorages are used, the bearing area Abr, shall not overlap. Where there is already a compressive stress, prevailing over the bearing area, as in the case of anchorage, placed in the body of a structure, the total stress shall not exceed, the limiting values specified in (a), (b) and (c).

IS : 1343 - 2012, 18.6.2.2 Bursting tensile forces, a) The bursting tensile forces in the end blocks, or regions of bonded, post-tensioned members, should be assessed on the basis of the, tendon jacking load. For unbonded members, the bursting tensile, forces should be assessed on the basis of the tendon jacking load, or the load in the tendon at the limit state of collapse, whichever, is greater ( see Appendix B )., The bursting tensile force, Fbst existing in an individual square, end block loaded by a symmetrically placed square anchorage or, bearing plate, may be derived from the equation below:, F bst, y po, ----------- = 0.32 – 0.3 ------Pk, yo, where, Fbst = bursting tensile force,, Pk = load in the tendon assessed as above,, ypo = side of loaded area, and, yo = side of end block., b) The force Fbst will be distributed in a region extending from 0.1 yo, to yo from the loaded face of the end block. Reinforcement, provided to sustain the bursting tensile force may be assumed to, be acting at its design strength (0.87 times characteristic, strength of reinforcement) except that the stress should be, limited to a value corresponding to a strain of 0.001 when the, concrete cover to the reinforcement is less than 50 mm., c) In rectangular end blocks, the bursting tensile forces in the two, principal directions should be assessed on the basis of 18.6.2.2., When circular anchorage or bearing plates are used, the side of the, equivalent square area should be used. Where groups of anchorages, or bearing plates occur, the end blocks should be divided into a, series of symmetrically loaded prisms and each prism treated in the, above manner. For designing end blocks having a cross-section, different in shape from that of the general cross-section of the beam,, reference should be made to specialist literature., d) Compliance with the requirements of (a), (b) and (c) will generally, ensure that bursting tensile forces along the load axis are, provided for. Alternative methods of design which make, allowance for the tensile strength of the concrete may be used, in, which case reference should be made to specialist literature., e) Consideration should also be given to the spalling tensile stresses, that occur in end blocks where the anchorage or bearing plates, are highly eccentric; these reach a maximum at the loaded face., 36

This percentage, of reinforcement may be reduced to 0.2 percent in members where, the depth of the web is not more than four times the thickness of, the web. These values may be reduced to 0.2 and 0.15 percent, respectively when high strength reinforcement is used., c) In case of members not subjected to dynamic loading,, reinforcement shall be provided when the depth of the web is, more than 4 times the thickness. Such reinforcement shall not be, less than 0.1 percent of the sectional area of the web in plan.

This reinforcement may be, reduced to 0.15 percent in the case of high yield strength, deformed reinforcement. The percentage of steel provided, both, tensioned and untensioned taken together, should be sufficient so, that when the concrete in the precompressed tensile zone cracks,, the steel is in a position to take up the additional tensile stress, transferred on to it by the cracking of the adjacent fibres of, concrete and a sudden failure is avoided., b) When the depth of the web exceeds 50 cm, longitudinal, distribution reinforcement not less than 0.05 percent of the area, of the web shall be provided on each face.

SAFETY AND SERVICEABILITY REQUIREMENTS, 19.1 Limit State Design — The structural design shall be based on, limit state concepts. In this method of design, the structure shall be, designed to withstand safely all loads liable to act on it throughout its, life; it shall also satisfy the serviceability requirements, such as, limitations on deflection and cracking. The acceptable limit for the, safety and serviceability requirements before failure occurs is called a, ‘Limit State’. The aim of design is to achieve acceptable probabilities, that the structure will not become unfit for the use for which it is, intended, that is, that it will not reach a limit state., 19.1.1 All relevant limit states shall be considered in design to ensure, an adequate degree of safety and serviceability. In general, the, structure shall be designed on the basis of the most critical limit state, and shall be checked for other limit states., 19.1.2 For ensuring the specified objective, the design should be based, on characteristic values for material strengths and applied loads,, which take into account the variations in the material strengths and in, the loads to be supported. The characteristic values should be based on, statistical data if available; where such data are not available, they, should be based on experience. The ‘design values’ are derived from, the characteristic value through the use of partial safety factors, one, for material strengths and the other for loads. In the absence of special, considerations, these factors should have the values given in 20.4, according to the material, the type of loading and the limit state being, considered., 19.2 Limit State of Collapse — The limit state of collapse of the, structure or part of the structure could be assessed from rupture of one, 38
