Round Bearing Plate for Prestressed Concrete Systems – Engineered Precision for Structural Integrity
The round bearing plate is a critical structural component designed to ensure precise alignment and uniform load transfer in prestressed concrete applications. Its circular geometry provides consistent contact with supporting surfaces, minimizing localized stress concentrations that could compromise long-term performance. This makes it indispensable in post-tensioning systems where even minor misalignment can lead to anchorage failure or premature fatigue.

This round bearing plate serves as a vital interface between the prestressing tendon and the concrete element, ensuring efficient load transfer without eccentricity or bending moments. It is commonly used in bridge decks, high-rise buildings, precast elements, and other critical infrastructure projects where structural integrity must be maintained over decades. The design supports both temporary and permanent post-tensioning applications, making it ideal for use in seismic zones, coastal regions, and areas exposed to harsh environmental conditions.
Users have reported enhanced reliability and reduced maintenance costs when using Chunpeng’s round bearing plates in large-scale construction projects across Europe, North America, and Southeast Asia. These components contribute significantly to the longevity and safety of structures relying on advanced prestressed techniques such as external post-tensioning, stay-in-place formwork systems, and composite beam designs.
Common Questions:
What makes a round bearing plate suitable for prestressed concrete applications?
Its symmetrical shape ensures even pressure distribution across the entire contact area, which minimizes point loading and prevents cracking in the surrounding concrete matrix—especially important in high-load scenarios involving ultra-high-strength strands.
How does this component improve anchorage system performance?
By acting as a transitional interface, it evenly transfers tensile forces from the tendon to the concrete, reducing shear stresses and enhancing the overall stability of the anchoring zone—critical in structures subjected to dynamic loads like wind, traffic, or earthquakes.
