Abstract
FIB Bulletin 75 recommendation has introduced improved performance requirements on corrugated plastic ducts for post-tensioning tendons and also on the entire post-tensioning system. Aim of this article is to describe and analyze critically the most important innovations introduced also with reference to previous FIB Bulletin 7. Special emphasis is given on the full scale testing program carried out recently by Tensa over its post-tensioning tendons in accordance to Annex B of FIB Bulletin 75. A supplementary testing program, made with reference to Florida Department of Transportation 2018 Construction Specifications, is also considered as a reference for further analysis.
