YMU"TYPE ANCHORAGE FOR UNBONDED STRAND WIRES

YMU Type Anchorage for Unbonded Strand Wires – High-Performance Prestressing Solution for Modern Infrastructure This engineered anchoring system is specifically designed to secure high-strength, unbonded steel cables in post-tensioned concrete structures. Ideal for demanding civil engineering applications, the YMU type anchorage ensures reliable load transfer, long-term durability, and superior structural performance under extreme stress conditions. Developed by Chunpeng Group—a trusted global manufacturer with over three decades of expertise in prestressed concrete materials—this anchorage system delivers precision, safety, and efficiency across international construction projects. Key Features: - Engineered for compatibility with unbonded PC strands, offering flexibility during installation and maintenance - Corrosion-resistant materials ensure extended service life in aggressive environments - High tensile capacity to withstand dynamic loads typical in bridges, parking structures, and tall buildings - Simplified on-site assembly reduces labor time and increases project productivity - Compliant with international standards for structural integrity and seismic resilience Detailed Description: The YMU anchorage system plays a critical role in modern post-tensioning techniques where bonded systems may limit adaptability or increase complexity. Unlike traditional methods that rely on grouted ducts, unbonded strand wires allow for easier tensioning, re-tensioning, and inspection throughout the structure’s lifecycle. The YMU anchorage provides a secure mechanical grip around each individual wire bundle, preventing slippage and ensuring consistent force distribution across the entire tendon. Constructed from hardened alloy steels and coated with anti-corrosive finishes, this anchorage resists environmental degradation, making it ideal for coastal, industrial, or humid regions. Its modular design supports rapid deployment without compromising connection strength—making it a preferred choice among engineers and contractors working on large-scale infrastructure developments worldwide. Ideal Use Cases: Commonly integrated into highway bridges, multi-level parking garages, high-rise residential towers, precast concrete elements, and industrial flooring systems, the YMU anchorage excels where long-span spans, vibration resistance, and minimal maintenance are essential. It is particularly valuable in seismic zones where controlled deformation and energy dissipation must be maintained through precise anchorage behavior. Whether used in new builds or retrofitting existing structures, this system enhances both safety margins and design versatility. Customer Testimonials: "Working with YMU anchors has significantly reduced our site installation time while improving the reliability of our post-tensioned bridge segments." – Civil Engineer, Europe "We’ve seen zero anchor failure after five years of exposure to saltwater environments—proof of its robustness and quality control." – Project Manager, Middle East "The ease of handling and clear load path visualization made this anchorage a standout choice for our high-rise development." – Structural Consultant, North America Frequently Asked Questions: What makes the YMU anchorage suitable for unbonded strand wires? Its unique clamping mechanism grips multiple wires simultaneously without requiring bonding agents or grouting, allowing for independent movement and easy inspection. This feature enhances durability and simplifies repairs if needed. How does it compare to bonded anchorage systems? Unlike bonded systems that require ducts and grout, the YMU system offers faster installation, lower risk of voids or incomplete grouting, and better performance in environments prone to moisture ingress or chemical exposure. Can it be used in earthquake-prone areas? Yes, the system is tested for cyclic loading and designed to maintain anchorage integrity even under repeated seismic stresses, meeting international codes for ductility and energy absorption. Is it compatible with different types of prestressing tendons? It is optimized for use with unbonded PC strands (including galvanized, weather-resistant, and corrosion-inhibited variants), as well as standard and ultra-high-strength steel wires commonly found in modern precast and cast-in-place concrete systems. For engineers seeking a durable, efficient, and globally compliant anchorage solution tailored to the evolving demands of infrastructure development, the YMU Type Anchorage stands out as a proven innovation in prestressed concrete technology.
