 Pile cap is a reinforced concrete structure, which
allows the load from a Pier to be equally shared
between groups of piles.

 PCC layer of 100 mm is laid

 Chipping of the top 1m of pile is done

 Marking is done on PCC layer for tying

reinforcement leaving a clear cover of 75 mm on
all sides

 Shuttering is done after tying reinforcement

 Concreting done in M-35 grade and a slump of

 Thread the HTS Strands in the R/F cage of the
Girder

Anchor all strands on the Pulling-block with master

wedges and barrel

Place Four Central Hole Jacks on live end through

already placed Macalloy Bars

Connect all four jacks to Power Pack through

manifold arrangement

Stress the strands upto 100 Kg/cm² to remove

slackness
Stress the strands by pulling all four Macalloy Bars
simultaneously up to a force of 60% of total force

Keep screwing the Macalloy Nut against the Live-

end anchor frame plate
 Go up to full force as stipulated in the structural
drawings i.e. 199.42kN equivalent to a pressure of
526kg/cm²
Retract the jack fully and remove the jacks from the
Macalloy Bars
Stress top strand/s one by one by Single Strand Jack
requiring a pressure of 482 kg/cm²

Concrete with RMC M40 grade with a Boom Placer,

cast 15 cubes
Cure the Girder on the stressing Bed for 3-4 days till
it attains 90% strength (36 MPa)

De-tension the girders with help of arrangement

same as that for Stressing

Cut the extra strand and shift the girder to curing

bed
