Prestress strand - calculating debond length based on slippage

Is anyone familiar with a method for calculating the effective debonding of a prestress strand based on its slippage?

The only reference I've found are the strand stress-strain curves, but using these will only let me calculate a prestress loss over the entire length of the member, whereas an effective debond length will only be on the end of the slippage, and give a more accurate result.

Thanks

debonding is when you wrap the end of the strand at the ends of the member to relieve some of the tension at the top. I don't think this is what you're looking for.
