This Report is a revision of the first edition of Technical
Report 47, which was published by The Concrete Society in
1996. The recommendations in the first edition have been
extended and improved, based on experience of use and on
much of the similar work that has been carried out internationally.

The measures described are aimed at improving design,
detailing, specifications, materials, construction methods and
testing for grouted post-tensioned concrete bridges with
either internal or external tendons.
Producing this extensively revised and updated second edition
of the Report has been a success thanks to the cooperation
from all parts of the industry - clients, designers, contractors
and specialist post-tensioning fis - and I am grateful to all
who have contributed, entirely on a voluntary basis
