Abstract:
Post Tension (PT) Plugs provide a new, efficient means for sealing anchor pockets. These precast units are made from nonshrink grout (8500 psi [59 MPa] compressive strength at 28 days) and are available to fit voids left by most common pocket formers. In tests conducted by an independent laboratory, PT Plugs have been shown to provide superior performance relative to conventional grout plugs.
