/. A metal plate, which bears directly against the concrete and is part of an overall
anchorage system - Answer-✅bearing plate
/.The friction caused by the unintended horizontal deviation of the tendon - Answer-
✅wobble friction
/.The loss of force in a tendon resulting from friction that occurs between the strand and
sheathing due to the wobble and/or profile of the tendon, created during stressing -
Answer-✅friction loss
/.The path a tendon follows in the concrete from end to end - Answer-✅profile
/.the maximum temporary force exerted by the jack while stressing a tendon - Answer-
✅jacking force
/.the minimum breaking strength of a strand - Answer-✅MUTS
/.a method of prestressing in which the tendons are tensioned after the concrete has
hardened - Answer-✅post-tensioning
/.concrete in which internal forces are induced by means of prestressed reinforcement,
typically, steel tendons - Answer-✅prestressed concrete
/.Group of closely spaced tendons placed together in a narrow strip usually along a
column line - Answer-✅banded tendons
/.1000 lbs of force - Answer-✅Kip
/.material used to protect against corrosion and reduce friction between prestressing
steel and sheathing - Answer-✅PT coating
/.movement of wedges into the anchor cavity during the transfer of the prestressing
force to the anchorage, resulting of some loss of prestressing force - Answer-✅seating
loss
/.Tendon in which prestressing steel is prevented from bonding to the concrete, and is
free to move relative to the concrete - Answer-✅unbonded tendon
