Ductility Requirements
Total area of stressed tendons = 6672 mm²
25% of the total area of stressed tendons = 1668 mm²
Area of outermost layer of tendons = 5004mm²
Hence 25% of the total stressed tendon area lies within outermost layer.
Strain at centroid of outermost tendon = 0.017735
Limiting Strain from Clause 6.3.3.1 = 0.005 + fpu/(gmEs) = 0.012261
