The Prestressed anchor wedges are critical components of prestressed anchorage systems, designed to secure prestressed steel bars or strands. They typically consist of an external steel barrel and internal wedge assemblies, which may be two- or three-piece configurations. These wedge assemblies ensure a secure fit with the anchored steel bar or strand through frictional engagement. The wedges are composed of wedge-shaped parts that anchor the steel by means of friction between the wedge structure and the surrounding medium, such as concrete or rock.
