zone, anchorage—in post-tensioning, the region adjacent to the anchorage subjected to secondary stresses resulting from the distribution of the prestressing force; in pretensioning, the region in which the transfer bond stresses are developed.
zone, precompressed—the area of a flexural member that is compressed by the prestressing tendons.
