Anchorage type S 6-1 Standard and S 6-1 Plus

Anchorage S 6-1 STANDARD and S 6-1 PLUS.

This EPD covers the life-cycle analysis of the anchorages S 6-1 Standard and S 6-1 Plus. This type of anchorage enables rapid transmission of prestressing force to the structure through a single-flange cast-iron anchor. This is a compact and relatively lightweight anchorage. all S 6-1 Standard and Plus anchoring systems have the same basic elements:

- Anchorage

- wedge and

- plastic connection pipe.

Depending if the system is bonded or unbonded, the connection pipe is a sleeve or a T-connection nozzle.

Both types of S 6-1 anchorages may be used as live (stressing) end or as dead-end.

Common characteristics for components of this anchorage system:

• Sleeves for unbonded systems have the same composition as T-connection nozzle for bonded systems, are made from the same material by the same supplier, so other factors as distance or transports have not variation either. 

• Casting for S 6-1 Plus system is the same casting as S 6-1 Standard, with a plastic cover for improved corrosion protection. 

• Pocket former is used for systems installation, and it’s recovered to be reused several times. 

• Plugs capot used in bonded and unbonded systems have, as well, same material composition and supplier.
