Mechanical Tests for Post-Tensioning Systems
Also Known As:
BS EN 13391:2004 is a European standard that outlines the mechanical tests for post-tensioning systems. The purpose of this standard is to provide test procedures for the anchorages and couplings of post-tensioning systems used in prestressed concrete structures. It should be used in conjunction with other relevant European Standards related to prestressed concrete structures.
The tests described in this standard are important for acquiring the Technical Approval of a specific post-tensioning system. By conducting these tests, manufacturers and suppliers can ensure that their anchorages and couplings meet the necessary mechanical requirements and are fit for use in prestressed concrete structures.
It is important to note that this standard does not cover tests and requirements for unbonded tendons. Additional tests and criteria are necessary for evaluating unbonded tendons, and these are not within the scope of this standard.
