Functions Used
sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)
Variables Used
Settling Length - (Measured in Millimeter) - Settling Length is the length where the effect of anchorage friction is absent.
Slip of Anchorage - (Measured in Millimeter) - Slip of Anchorage is the distance by which the anchorage gets slipped when the force is transmitted from anchorage to tendon.
Steel Area in Prestress - (Measured in Square Millimeter) - Steel Area in Prestress is the total cross sectional area of tendons.
Modulus of Elasticity of Steel Reinforcement - (Measured in Megapascal) - Modulus of Elasticity of Steel Reinforcement is a measure of its stiffness.
Prestressing force after Immediate Losses - (Measured in Kilonewton) - Prestressing force after Immediate Losses is force after immediate losses. It is also called as reduced value of prestressing force after elastic shortening, anchorage slip and loss due to friction.

What is the cause of Wobbling Losses in Post Tensioned Tendons?

At the initial stage, major factors affecting prestress losses are friction loss, anchorage slip, and elastic shortening of the concrete. Friction losses may consist of both intended curvature of the tendons (that is curvature friction) and unintended misalignment of the tendons (that is wobble friction).

When Jacking is done in one end what is the maximum loss?

However, if the total span length is sufficiently long, jacking from both ends should be considered. During prestressing operation at one end, frictional losses will occur and the prestressing force decreases along the length of tendon until reaching the other end.
