External Unbonded Post-tensioning System Using Monostrand
Extend the service life of critical structures with minimal disruption.
- Strengthening
DYWIDAG’s external unbonded post-tensioning system with monostrands is the perfect solution for strengthening and repair projects. It is typically used as ring tendons for tanks and silos, as well as for the strengthening of girders in bridges and buildings, where it can help to reduce the risk of structural failure and extend the service life.
Our system features monostrands that are designed to be guided outside the concrete cross-section, running straight between the end anchorages or deflected at cross beams, saddles, and other structural components. This allows for a low induced stress range, less fretting fatigue, and easier monitoring of stressing forces.
One of the key benefits of this system is its ability to be installed with minimal disruption to the existing structure, which can help to reduce the overall cost and duration of the project. This is especially useful for tanks, silos, and bridges, many of which cannot be taken out of service for extended periods of time.
