without breaking out a substantial portion of the
surrounding concrete.

ANCHORAGE ZONE. in post-ensioned members,
portion of the member through which the concentrated
prestressing force is transferred to the concrete and

‘equal to the largest dimension of the cross section; for
anchorage devices located away from the end of a
member, the anchorage zone includes the disturbed
regions ahead of and behind the anchorage device.
