This specification provides materials criteria and fabrication requirements for unbonded single-strand tendons.

This specification shall not apply to post-tensioned slabon- ground, mat, or raft foundations on expansive soils.

NOTE 1-For membrane-type structures primarily under tensile forces resulting from temperature effects and concrete shrinkage, the provisions apply where deemed appropriate by Architect/Engineer.

The text of this standard references notes and footnotes that provide explanatory material. These notes and footnotes (excluding those in tables and figures) shall not be considered as requirements of the standard.

Values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. Values given in parentheses are mathematical conversion to SI Units that are provided for information only, and are not considered standard.
