Porous anchor devices are anchoring systems used in prestressed concrete, designed to maintain the tensile force of prestressing steel tendons and transfer it to the concrete interior in post-tensioned structures or components. Specifically, porous anchor wedges are a type of anchoring device that uses each conical hole on a porous anchor plate to hold a wedge that secures a steel strand. The advantage of this anchor is that the failure of any single steel strand does not lead to the failure of the entire bundle, and there is no limit to the number of strands per bundle, although the component ends require enlarged holes. Porous anchors are widely used in the construction process, such as in bridge construction where they are pre-installed for positioning, followed by concrete pouring, embedding at both ends of the concrete, i.e., at the ends of the corrugated pipes, which are set up for the stable action of the jack during tensioning.
