consisting of a thin walled casing or equivalent shall be used to extend the shaft by
length at least equal to two and a half (2 ½) pile diameters such that the extended
pile head is readily accessible by the testing Employer’s Representative at the time
of the test. If the shaft top is below grade, then the Contractor must have equipment
available to remove surrounding soil (creating a safe working environment) so as
to expose the concrete.

2) Means to ensure flat, level (axial to shaft) and sound concrete shaft top. Concrete
should be on level with, or above the casing. Prior to the test, four “windows”
approximately sized 6 by 6 inches (150 by 150mm) shall be provided at each
quadrant of the casing.

This work shall include the furnishing and installation of any appurtenant Items
necessary for the particular prestressing system to be used, including but not limited to
ducts, anchorage assemblies and grout used for pressure grouting ducts.

For cast-in-place pre-stressed concrete, the term “member” as used in this Section shall
be considered to mean the concrete structure or the part there of which is to be pre-
stressed.

When members are to be constructed with part of the reinforcement pretensioned and
part post-tensioned, the applicable requirement of this Specification shall apply to each
method.

406.1.1 Details of Design

When the design for the prestressing work is not fully detailed on the Plans, the
Contractor shall determine the details or type of prestressing system for use and select
materials and details conforming to these Specifications as needed to satisfy the
prestressing requirements specified to the satisfaction of the Employer’s Representative.
The system selected shall provide the magnitude and distribution of prestressing force
and ultimate strength required by the Plans without exceeding allowable temporary
stresses. Unless otherwise shown on the Plans, all design procedures, coefficient and
allowable stresses, friction and prestress losses as well as tendon spacing and clearances
shall be in accordance with the Division I, Design, of the AASHTO Standard
Specifications for Highway Bridges.

The prestressing may be performed either by pre-tensioning or post-tensioning methods

unless the Plans show only pre-tensioning details or only post-tensioning details.

When the effective or working force or stress is shown on the Plans, it shall be
considered to be the force or stress remaining in the prestressing steel after all losses,
including creep and shrinkage of concrete, elastic shortening of concrete, relaxation of
steel, friction and take up or seating of anchorage, and all other losses peculiar to the
method or system of prestressing have taken place or have been provided for. When the
jacking force is shown on the Plans, it shall be considered the force applied to the tendon
prior to anchorage and the occurrence of any losses, including the anchor set loss.

Uncoated high-strength bars shall conform to the requirements of AASHTO

M 275 (ASTM A 722). Bars with greater minimum ultimate strength, but
otherwise produced and tested in accordance with AASHTO M275 (ASTM
A 722), may be used provided they have no properties that make them less
satisfactory than the specified material.

d) Post-tensioning Anchorage and Couplers

All anchorage and couplers shall develop at least 95 percent of the minimum
specified ultimate strength of the prestressing steel, when tested in an
unbonded state, without exceeding anticipated set. The coupling of tendons
shall not reduce the elongation at rupture below the requirements of the tendon
itself. Couplers and/or coupler components shall be enclosed in housings long
enough to permit the necessary movements. Couplers for tendons shall be
used only at locations specifically indicated and/or approved by the
Employer’s Representative. Couplers shall not be used at points of sharp
curvature of tendons.

but not greater than 1.24 f’ci

Where:

fcp = permissible compressive concrete stress

DPWH F-36
Technical Specification for the Davao City Part F
Bypass Construction Project, Package I-2, Sta. 0+000 to Sta. 12+800 Bridge Construction

fc’ = compressive strength of concrete

f’ci = compressive strength of concrete at time of initial prestress

A’ b = maximum area of the portion of the concrete anchorage

surface that is geometrically similar to and concentric with
the area of the anchorage

A b = bearing area of the anchorage

As used in the above equation, fcp is the average bearing stress, P/A, in
the concrete, computed by dividing the force P of the prestressing steel
by the net projected area, A’b between the concrete and the bearing plate
or other structural element of the anchorage, which has the function of
transferring the force to the concrete.

iii Anchorage Devices without Distribution Plates

Should the Contractor elect to furnish anchoring devices of a type that is

sufficiently large and which is used in conjunction with a steel grillage
embedded in the concrete that effectively distributes the compressive
stresses to the concrete, the steel distribution plates or assemblies may be
omitted.

Anchorage devices without distribution plates of types, which have not

been pre-approved by the Employer’s Representative, shall not be used

in the AASHTO Guide Specifications for the Design and Construction
of Segmented Concrete Bridges.

For such anchorage system previously tested and approved on projects

having the same tendon configuration, the Employer’s Representative
may waive additional testing provided there is no change in the materials,
design or details previously approved. The working drawings shall
identify the project on which approval was obtained, otherwise testing
will be necessary.

iv Supplemental Reinforcement

Any supplementary reinforcement required in the local zone of the

anchorage, as defined in the AASHTO Guide Specifications for Design
and Construction of Segmental Concrete Bridges, to resist bursting,
splitting and spalling tensile stresses in the immediate vicinity of the
anchorage which are dependent on the configuration of the anchor
device, shall be considered to be a part of the anchorage device. Such
reinforcement shall be designated by the anchorage supplier and shall be
furnished and placed as additional to the general zone reinforcement,
which is shown on the Plans.

of 0.005 percent of the weight of the cement used or contain any fluorides,
sulphites, and nitrates, shall not be used.

When a grout-expanding admixture is used as required or at the Contractor’s

option, it shall be well dispersed through the other admixtures and shall
produce a 2 to 6 percent unrestrained expansion of the grout.

Amount of admixture to obtain a desired amount of expansion shall be

determined by tests. If the source of manufacture or brand of either admixture
or cement changes after testing, new tests shall be conducted to determine
proper proportions.

406.3 Construction Requirements

406.3.2 Pre-stressing Method

Add the following paragraphs to Subsection 406.3.2:

Prestressing steel shall be tensioned by hydraulic jacks to produce the forces shown on
the Plans or on the approved working drawings of the Contractor with appropriate
allowances for all losses. Losses to be provided for shall be as specified in AASHTO
Division I, Article 9.16. For post-tensioned work, the losses shall also include the
anchor set loss appropriate for the anchorage system employed.

The maximum temporary stress (jacking stress) and the stress in the steel before loss
due to creep and shrinkage shall not exceed the values allowed in AASHTO Division I,
Article 9.15.

The method of tensioning employed shall be one of the following as specified or

approved:

 Pre-tensioning; in which the prestressing strand or tendons are stressed prior to

being embedded in the concrete placed for the member. After the concrete has

DPWH F-42
Technical Specification for the Davao City Part F
Bypass Construction Project, Package I-2, Sta. 0+000 to Sta. 12+800 Bridge Construction

attained the required strength, the prestressing force is released from the external
anchorage and transferred, by bond, into the concrete.

 Post-Tensioning; in which the reinforcing tendons are installed in voids or ducts

within the concrete and are stressed and anchored against the concrete after the
development of the required concrete strength. As a final operation under this
method, the voids or ducts are pressure-grouted.

 Combined Method; in which part of the reinforcement is pretensioned and part

post-tensioned. Under this method, all applicable requirements for pre-tensioning
and for post-tensioning shall apply to the respective reinforcing elements using
these methods.

During stressing of strand, individual wire failures may be accepted by the Employer’s
Representative, provided not more than one (1) wire in any strand is broken and the area
of broken wires does not exceed two (2) percent of the total area of the prestressing steel
in the member.

Prestressing forces shall not be applied or transferred to the concrete until the concrete
has attained the strength specified for initial stressing. In addition, cast-in-place
concrete shall not be post-tensioned until at least ten (10) days after the last concrete has
been placed in the member to be post-tensioned.

406.3.3 Prestressing Equipment

Modify Sub-Section 406.3.3 to read as follows:

Hydraulic jacks used to stress tendons shall be capable of providing and sustaining the
necessary forces and shall be equipped with either a pressure gauge or a load cell for
determining the jacking stress. The jacking system shall provide an independent means
by which the tendon elongation can be measured.

The pressure gauge shall have an accurately reading dial at least 6 inches in diameter or
a digital display, and each jack and its gauge shall be calibrated as a unit with the
cylinder extension in the approximate position that it will be at final jacking force, and
shall be accompanied by a certified calibration chart or curve.

The load cell shall be calibrated and shall be provided with an indicator by means of
which the prestressing force in the tendon may be determined.

The range of the load cell shall be such that the lower ten (10) percent of the
manufacturer’s rated capacity will not be used in determining the jacking stress. When
approved by the Employer’s Representative, calibrated proving rings may be used in
lieu of load cells.

Recalibration of gauges shall be repeated at least annually and whenever gauge

pressures and elongations indicate materially different stresses.

Only oxygen flame or mechanical cutting devices shall be used to cut strand after
installation in the member or after stressing. Electric welders shall not be used.

Safety measures shall be taken by the Contractor to prevent accidents due to possible
breaking of the prestressing steel and the slippage of the grips during the prestressing
process.

DPWH F-43
Technical Specification for the Davao City Part F
Bypass Construction Project, Package I-2, Sta. 0+000 to Sta. 12+800 Bridge Construction

406.3.3.1 Sequence of Stressing

When the sequence of stressing individual tendons is not otherwise specified, the
stressing of post-tensioned tendons and the release of pretensioned tendons shall be done
in a sequence that produces a minimum of eccentric force in the member.

406.3.3.2 Measurement of Stress

A record of gauge pressures and tendon elongation for each tendon shall be provided by
the Contractor for review and approval by the Employer’s Representative. Elongation
shall be measured to an accuracy of 1.5 mm. Stressing tails of post-tensioned tendons
shall not be cut off until the stressing records have been approved.

The stress in tendons during tensioning shall be determined by the gauge or load cell
readings and shall be verified with the measured elongation. Calculations of anticipated
elongation shall utilize the modulus of elasticity, based on nominal area, as furnished
by the manufacturer for the lot of steel being tensioned, or as determined by a bench test
of strands used in the work.

All tendons shall be tensioned to a preliminary force as necessary to eliminate any take-
up in the tensioning system before elongation readings are started. This preliminary
force shall be between 5 and 25 percent of the final jacking force. The initial force shall
be measured by a dynamometer or by other approved method to check against
elongation as measured and computed. Each strand shall be marked prior to final
stressing to permit measurement of elongation and to insure that all anchor wedges set
properly.

It is anticipated that there may be discrepancy in indicated stress between jack gauge
pressure and elongation. In such event, the load used, as indicated by the gauge pressure,
shall produce a slight overstress rather than under stress. When a discrepancy between
gauge pressure and elongation of more than five (5) percent in tendons over 15 meters
long or seven (7) percent in tendons of 15 meters or less in length occurs, the entire
operation shall be carefully checked and the source of error determined and corrected
before proceeding further.

406.3.5 Placement of Ducts and its Appurtenances

406.3.5.1 Placement of Ducts

Ducts shall be accurately placed at locations shown on the Plans or approved by the
Employer’s Representative.

Ducts shall be rigidly supported at the proper locations in the forms by ties to reinforcing
steel, which are adequate to prevent displacement during concrete placement.
Supplementary support bars shall be used where needed to maintain proper alignment
of the duct. Hold down ties to the forms shall be used when the buoyancy of the ducts
in the fluid concrete would lift the reinforcing steel.

Joints between sections of duct shall be coupled with positive connections, which do
not result in angle changes at the joints and will prevent the intrusion of cement paste.

After placing of ducts, reinforcements and forms, is complete, an inspection shall be

made to locate possible duct damage.

All unintentional holes or openings in the duct must be repaired prior to concrete placing.

DPWH F-44
Technical Specification for the Davao City Part F
Bypass Construction Project, Package I-2, Sta. 0+000 to Sta. 12+800 Bridge Construction

After installation in the forms, the ends of ducts shall at all times be covered as necessary
to prevent the entry of water or debris.

406.3.5.2 Vents and Drains

All ducts for continuous structures shall be vented at the high points of the duct profile,
except where the curvature is small, as in continuous slabs, and at additional locations
as shown on the Plans. Drains shall be installed at low point in ducts where needed to
prevent the accumulation of water. Low-point drains shall remain open until grouting
is started.

The ends of vents and drains shall be removed one (1) inch below the surface of the
concrete after grouting has been completed, and the void filled with mortar.

406.3.6 Placing of Steel

Modify the title and text of Sub-Section 406.3.6 to read as follows:

concrete shall be accurately placed and held in position during concrete placement.

When the prestressing steel is installed after the concrete has been placed, the Contractor
shall demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Employer’s Representative that the ducts are
free of water and debris immediately prior to installation of the steel. The total number
of strands in an individual tendon may be pulled into the duct as a unit, or the individual
strand may be pulled or pushed through the duct.

Anchorage devices or block-out templates for anchorage shall be set and held so that
their axis coincides with the axis of the tendon and anchor plates are normal in all
directions to the tendon.

406.3.6.2 Protection of Steel After Installation

Prestressing steel installed in members prior to placing and curing of the concrete, or
installed in the duct but not grouted within the time limit specified below, shall be
continuously protected against rust or other corrosion by means of a corrosion inhibitor
placed in the ducts or directly applied to the steel. The prestressing steel shall be so
protected until grouted or encased in concrete. Prestressing steel installed and tensioned
in members after placing and curing of the concrete and grouted within the time limit
specified below will not require the use of a corrosion inhibitor described herein and
rust, which may form during the interval between tendon installation and grouting will
not be cause for rejection of the steel.

The permissible interval between tendon installation and grouting without use of a
corrosion inhibitor for various exposure conditions shall be as follows:

Very Damp Atmosphere or over saltwater (Humidity >

7 days
70%)
Moderate Atmosphere (Humidity from 40% to 70%) 15 days
Very Dry Atmosphere (Humidity < 40%) 20 days

DPWH F-45
Technical Specification for the Davao City Part F
Bypass Construction Project, Package I-2, Sta. 0+000 to Sta. 12+800 Bridge Construction

After tendons are placed in ducts, the openings at the ends of the ducts shall be sealed
to prevent entry of moisture.

When steam curing is used, steel for post-tensioning shall not be installed until the
stream curing is completed.

Whenever electric welding is performed on or near members containing prestressing

steel, the welding ground shall be attached directly the steel being welded. All
prestressing steel and hardware shall be protected from weld spatter or other damage.

406.3.10 Post-Tensioning

Add the following paragraphs at the end of Sub-Section 406.3.10, to read as follows:

Prior to post-tensioning any member, the Contractor shall demonstrate to the satisfaction
of the Employer’s Representative that the prestressing steel is free and unbounded in
the duct.

All strands in each tendon, except for those in flat ducts with not more than four strands,
shall be stressed simultaneously with a multi-strand jack.

Tensioning shall be accomplished to provide the forces and elongations specified in

Sub-Section 406.3.3.2

Except as provided herein or when shown on the Plans or on the approved working
drawings of the Contractor, tendons in continuous post-tensioned members shall be
tensioned by jacking at each end of the tendon. For straight tendons when only one
stressing end is shown on the Plans, tensioning may be performed by jacking from one
end or both ends of the tendon at the option of the Contractor.

Add subsection 406.3.15 after subsection 406.3.14

406.3.15 Grouting

406.3.15.1 General

When the post-tensioning method is used, the prestressing steel shall be provided with
permanent protection and shall be bonded to the concrete by completely filling the void
space between the duct and the tendon with grout.

406.3.15.2 Preparation of Ducts

All ducts shall be clean and free of deleterious materials that would impair bonding or
interfere with grouting procedures.

Ducts with concrete walls (cored ducts) shall be flushed to ensure that the concrete is
thoroughly wetted. Metal ducts shall be flushed if necessary, to remove deleterious

which will produce a grout free of lumps and undispersed cement, a grout pump and
stand-by flushing equipment with water supply. The equipment shall be able to pump
the mixed grout in a manner, which will comply with all requirements.

Accessory equipment, which will provide for accurate solid and liquid measure, shall
be provided to batch all materials.

The pump shall be a positive displacement type and be able to produce an outlet pressure
of at least 1.0 MPa. The pump should have seals adequate to prevent introduction of
oil, air, or other foreign substance into the grout, and prevent loss of grout or water.

A pressure gauge having a full-scale reading of no greater than 2.0 MPa shall be placed
at some point in the grout line between the pump outlet and the duct inlet.

The grouting equipment shall contain a screen having a clear opening of 3 mm

maximum size, to screen the grout prior to its introduction into the grout pump. If grout
with a thixotropic additive is used, a screen opening of 5 mm is satisfactory. This screen
shall be easily accessible for inspection and cleaning.

The grouting equipment shall utilize gravity feed to the pump inlet from a hopper
attached to and directly over it. The hopper must be kept at least partially full of grout
at all times during the pumping operation to prevent air from being drawn into the pre-
tensioning duct.

Under normal conditions, the grouting equipment shall be capable of continuously

grouting the largest tendon on the project in no more than 20 minutes.

406.3.15.4 Mixing of Cement Grout

Water shall be added to the mixer first, followed by Portland cement and admixture, or
as required by the admixture manufacturer.

Mixing shall be of such duration as to obtain a uniform, thoroughly blended grout,

without excessive temperature increase or loss of expansive properties of the admixture.
The grout shall be continuously agitated until it is pumped.

Water shall be not added to increase grout flow ability, which has been decreased by
delayed use of the grout.

Proportions of materials shall be based on tests made on the grout before grouting is
begun, or may be selected based on prior documented experience with similar materials
and equipment and under comparable field conditions (weather, temperature, etc.). The
water content, shall be the minimum necessary for proper placement and when Type I
or II cement is used shall not exceed a water cement ratio of 0.45 or approximately 5
gallons of water per sack 40 kilograms of cement.

The water content required for Type III cement shall be established for a particular brand
based on tests.

The pump ability of the grout may be determined by the Engineer in accordance with
the U.S. Corps of Engineers Methods CRD-C79. When this method is used, the efflux

DPWH F-47
Technical Specification for the Davao City Part F
Bypass Construction Project, Package I-2, Sta. 0+000 to Sta. 12+800 Bridge Construction

time of the grout sample immediately after mixing shall not be less than 11 seconds.
The flow cone test does not apply to grout, which incorporates a thixotropic additive.

406.3.15.5 Injection of Cement Grout

All grout and high point vent openings shall be open when grouting starts. Grout shall
be allowed to flow from the first vent after the inlet pipe until any residual flushing
water or entrapped air has been removed, at which time the vent should be capped or
otherwise closed. Remaining vents shall be closed in sequence in the same manner.

The pumping pressure at the tendon inlet shall not exceed 1.75 MPa.

If the actual grouting pressure exceeds the maximum recommended pumping pressure,
grout may be injected at any vent, which has been, or is ready to be capped as long as
one-way flow of grout is maintained. If this procedure is used, the vent, which is to be
used for injection shall be fitted with a positive shutoff.

When one-way flow of grout cannot be maintained, the grout shall be immediately
flushed out of the duct with water.

Grout shall be pumped through the duct and continuously wasted at the outlet pipe until
no visible slugs of water or air are ejected and the efflux time of the ejected grout, as
measured by a flow cone test, if used, it not less than that of the injected grout. To
ensure that the tendon remains filled with grout, the outlet shall then be closed and the
pumping pressure allowed to build to a minimum of 0.5 MPa before the inlet vent is
closed. Plugs, caps, or valves thus required shall not be removed or opened until the
grout has set.

406.3.15.6 Temperature Considerations

Grout shall not be above 90ºF during mixing or pumping. If necessary, the mixing
water shall be cooled.

406.4 Method of Measurement
