Description	This paper evaluated the validity of a design method for anchorage zones in post-tensioned concrete members using Grade 2400 strands from American Concrete Institute (ACI) Building Code, ACI 318-19 and Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) codes. For this purpose, the behaviors of anchorage zones in ten specimens were investigated and compared with ACI 318-19 and AASHTO codes, considering the jacking force and ultimate flexural load. The anchor shape, number of strands, and reinforcement details of the anchorage zone were considered as variables. The test results showed that ACI 318-19 and AASHTO codes could not predict where the maximum bursting force would occur. In addition, they calculated bursting force by summation of the pre-stressing forces from the individual strands, whereas the experimental results were not linearly proportional to the number of strands. The ACI 318-19 and AASHTO standards were inadequate to calculate bearing force of post-tensioned members using high-strength strands. Furthermore, additional stress in the anchorage zone occurred as the flexural load increased, which may have been caused by a failure in the anchorage zone. The experimental results indicated that the method used to predict stress and design of anchorage zone in current codes should be improved to consider stress distribution and additional stress in post-tensioned concrete members using high-strength strands.
