static strength requirements. Use couplers for tendon sections capable of developing 95%
of the minimum specified ultimate tensile strength. The anchor head shall comply with the
requirements of BS 4447

D. Cement Grout:
Use grout for anchorage consisting of a pumpable mixture of portland cement, sand,
water, and admixtures. The Contractor may use admixtures which control bleed, improve
flowability, reduce water content, and retard set in the grout subject to the approval of the
Engineer. The Contractor may only add expansive admixtures to the grout used for filling
sealed encapsulations, trumpets, and anchorage covers. Do not use accelerators. Use
admixtures compatible with the prestressing steels and mixed in accordance with the
manufacturer's recommendations.

The Enginner may require grout cube testing if the Contractor uses admixtures or
irregularities occur in anchor testing. Use grout that attains a minimum cube strength of
23.44 N/mm2 within seven days.

Four Seasons Mixed Use Dev Project Jakarta –GROUND ANCHORS Page 6

E. Centralizer:
Use centralizers fabricated from plastic, steel, or material which is nondetrimental to the
prestressing steel. Do not use wood. Ensure that the centralizer is able to support the
tendon in the drill hole, and position the tendon so a minimum of 12.5 mm of grout cover is
provided over the tendon bond length. In addition, locate the upper centralizer a maximum
of 1500 mm from the top of the tendon bond length, and locate the lower centralizer a
maximum of 300 mm from the bottom of the tendon bond length. The Engineer will not
require centralizers on pressure injected tendons if the Contractor installs the anchor in
coarse grained soils using grouting pressures greater than 1.03 N/mm2. The Engineer will
not require centralizers if the Contractor installs the anchors and grouts them through a
hollow stem auger and maintains the hole full of stiff grout (slump less than 225 mm)
during extraction of the auger.

G. Spacers:
Use spacers to separate elements of a multi-element tendon and which permit grout to
flow freely up the drill hole. Use spacers fabricated from plastic, steel, or material which is
nondetrimental to the prestressing steel. Do not use wood. The Contractor may use a
combination centralizer-spacer.

physical damage. The Engineer will consider damage such as abrasion kinks, welds and
weld splatters, cuts, and nicks which impair the proper performance of the tendon cause
for rejection.

D. Sheath tendons in the stressing length to prevent contact of the anchor tendon with the
drill hole wall. The Contractor may use sheathing that consists of tubes surrounding
individual tendon elements or a single tube surrounding the elements altogether.

E. The Contractor may use sheathing material of either steel, plastic, or any other material
nondetrimental to the high strength prestressing steel. The Contractor may use tape to
prevent grout from entering under the sheath on individually sheathed elements.

F. Select the type of tendon to be used. The characteristic strength of the tendon shall not be
less then the working load shown on the drawings, multiplied by a factor 1.6.

G. Prestressing strand, however manufactured, shall be in of sufficiently large diameter

ensure that the strand pays off reasonably straight

H. Assume responsibility for determining the bond length necessary to develop the design
load indicated on the plans or the Shop Drawings. Use a minimum bond length of 3m feet
in rock and 4.5m in soil. Ensure that the minimum tendon bond length is 3m.
