FREYSSIBAR
Prestressing system
Developed by Freyssinet, worldwide leader in prestressing activities,
the Freyssibar prestressing system comprises a wide range of threaded
bars and associated anchoring, coupling and extension devices.
This prestressing system is adapted to many applications.

Technology
The bars
The bars are hot rolled from high strength alloyed steel. They are subse-
quently cold worked by stretching and then threaded over their full length or
on the extremities by cold rolling. The standard range of nominal diameters
is: 26.5; 32; 36; 40 and 50 mm. Non-standard diameter bars can be delivered
on request.
The anchorages
The anchor devices are designed to anchor the force in the bar and transfer it to
the structure. Four types of anchorages are available:
Standard anchorages with a nut and washer;
Hinge anchorages using a nut with a spherical seat;
Standard anchorages using a low rotation spherical nut and spherical washer;
Fixed anchorages using a threaded end plate.
All nuts are hot forged. Also, couplers allow primary bars to be connected to
secondary bars.
The accessories
Freyssinet offers a full range of sheathing that is easy to install.
In particular:
Steel strip corrugated sheath, threaded over its full length, which allows easy
and fast connections;
High density polyethylene tube, with elements mirror welded to achieve
a leak free and non corrodible envelope;

Technology Properties
Fatigue : The system has a fatigue resistance in excess of two million cycles of
loading over a tensile stress range of 590-670 N/mm2, exceeding the ETAG 013
requirements.
Relaxation : After 1000 hours the loss of stress due to relaxation in the Freyssibar
system loaded to 70% Fpk is below 3% which is better than the 4% maximum as
described in pr EN 10138-4.
Hot dip galvanizing after sand blasting (no risk of hydrogen embrittlement due
to acid pickling)
Metalization (Dunois, etc.)
Petrolatum tape
Epoxy coating
Ducting
Quality control
The fabrication of the bars and the anchorages is carried out under a quality
assurance system in compliance with the quality standard ISO 9000 : 2000. Flat
anchorages and bars have passed all the tests required in ETAG 013.

Installation The accuracy of the prestressing force actually introduced into the structure
and the durability of the tendons depend on the quality of the installation. The
detailed installation procedure is available on request.
Tensioning
The tensioning equipment provided by Freyssinet ensures the accuracy of the
load applied within +/- 2%. This is achieved through regular calibration of the
Safety factors
The maximum allowable stressing force in the prestressing bars is given by the
relevant design standards. Recommendations are given below as examples:
(Note: Fpk means the guaranteed tendon tensile breaking load and Fp0.1%
means the proof load).
Load cell
A/ In post-tensioned structures, the Eurocode limits the tension
to either 0.9 Fp0.1% or 0.8 Fpk, whichever is lower.
B/
force limited to 0.75 Fp0.1% for temporary ground anchors and
0.60 Fp0.1% for permanent ground anchors.
C/ In case of re-use, the tensioning force of the bar is limited to 0.60 Fpk
