Bursting stress in anchorage zone of post tension girder can be estimated based on Guyon’s equation. The major parameters in calculating bursting stress are prestressing force and the distance ratio between concrete edge and anchorage plate. Although Guyon’s equation can be applied to calculate bursting stress for rectangular typed as well as circular typed plate, there is some limitation of accuracy due to 2 dimensional analysis. Therefore this study is proposed to suggest a bursting stress equation based on 3 dimensional finite element method.
