PTI Training Exam Questions With
Correct Answers
Add |Tendons |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Tendons |usually |short |in |length |placed |in |specific |
locations, |such |as |end |bays, |to |increase |the |uplift |force |at |that |location
Back-up |bars |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Reinforcing |steel |used |to |control |the |tensile |splitting |
forces |in |the |concrete |resulting |from |the |concentrated |anchor |force |developed |by |the |stressed
|tendons.
Banded |Tendons |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Group(s) |of |closely |spaced |tendons |placed |together |
in |a |narrow |strip |usually |along |a |column |line.
Bearing |Plate |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-A |metal |plate, |which |bears |directly |against |the |concrete
|and |is |part |of |an |overall |anchorage |system.
Coupler |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-A |device |designed |to |connect |two |strand |ends |together.
Elongation |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Increase |in |the |length |of |the |prestressing |steel |under |the |
applied |prestressing |force.
Encapsulated |System |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-A |system |which |provides |watertight |connections
|at |all |stressing, |intermediate, |and |fixed |ends, |and |provides |a |watertight |enclosure |of |the |
wedge |cavity |and |prestressing |steel.
, Friction |Loss |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-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.
Jacking |Force |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-The |maximum |temporary |force |exerted |by |the |jack |
while |stressing |a |tendon.
Kip |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-1000 |pounds |of |force
MUTS |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-The |minimum |breaking |strength |of |a |strand.
Post-Tensioning |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-A |method |of |prestressing |in |which |the |tendons |are |
tensioned |after |concrete |has |hardened.
Prestressed |concrete |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Concrete |in |which |internal |forces |are |induced |
by |means |of |prestressed |reinforcement, |typically, |steel |tendons.
Profile |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-The |path |a |tendon |follows |in |the |concrete |from |end |to |end.
P-T |Coating |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Material |used |to |protect |against |corrosion |and |reduce |
friction |between |prestressing |steel |and |sheathing.
Seating |Loss |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-The |movement |of |the |wedges |into |the |anchor |cavity |
during |the |transfer |of |the |prestressing |force |to |the |anchorage, |resulting |of |some |loss |of |
prestressing |force.
Strand |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-High |strength |steel |wires |twisted |around |a |center |wire.
