Input Ac, Ic, Sb, St, fpu, fpi, fpy, Eps, f'c, f'ci, L, Aps, WD, WSD, WL, anchorage
seating ΔA , e, RH, V/S, time t, pretensioned or post-tensioned stress
relieved or low relaxation steel

Friction loss, only if post-tensioned

ΔfpF = fpj (μα + KL)
where μ and K , α=8e/L or α=L/R
Net fpi= ΔfpF

Anchorage seating loss

ΔfpA =(ΔA/L)(Eps)
Net fpi=fpj- ΔfpA

Elastic shortening loss

where 0.90Pi=Pj can be used for refinement since Pj at

elastic shortening stage ≈ 0.90Pi
Pretensioned
ΔfpES =(Eps/ Eci)fcs
Post-tensioned
Sequential Jacking

Shrinkage loss
ΔfpSH = 8.2x10-6 KSH Eps(1-0.6V/S)(100-RH)
KSH = 1 for pretensioned
KSH for post tensioned
Alternatively
 Relaxation of steel loss
 Stress-relieved strands
Pretensioned

where t2 and t1 are in hours

Post-tensioned

where log t = log (t2-t1)

 Low-relaxation strands
Replace the denominator (10) in both
pretensioned and post tensioned equations by
a denominator value of 45.

Add all losses

 Pretensioned

 Post tensioned

Calculate % of each type of loss

Add % of all losses
