And the quick answer is…

In post tensioning, the region adjacent to the anchorage for the tendon which is subjected to secondary stresses as a result of the distribution of the pre stressing force. Also: In pre tensioning, the region in which transfer bond stresses are developed.

These are a few popular questions people ask:

Anchorage zone

What is meant by anchorage in prestressed concrete...

In pretensioned concrete, the anchorage consists of a bonded length of tendon, in direct contact with the concrete. In post-tensioned concrete, an achorage plate is used, which bears onto the concrete over a relatively small area.

Anchorage (bond) in concrete: Codes of specifications. Because the actual bond stress varies along the length of a bar anchored in a zone of tension, most international codes of specifications use the concept of development length rather than bond stress.

What is the most efficient location for an overhead Anchorage...

The most efficient location for an overhead anchorage is typically directly above the fall hazard. The higher an anchorage is above the user, the better. Anchorages located below the users dorsal D-ring will increase total fall distances. Feasible inspection of the system should also be considered.
