It’s extremely important for a structural engineer to see the structural elements during a pre-acquisition consultation, or at the onset of the project, to help identify issues early in the development. In a recent post-tension slab project, IMEG proposed two solutions to bring in natural light—a central atrium or exterior balcony cut-outs.

The ducts for the tendons (or strands) are arranged together with the reinforcement prior to the casting of concrete in post-tensioning systems. The objective of duct is to avoid connection among concrete and the tendons throughout the tensioning operation. 4) Use tension to the tendons. 4) Use tension to the tendons.

Generally, post-tensioned (PT) slabs belong to flat slabs, band beam and slabs or ribbed slabs. Longer spans are obtained because of pre-stress, which are also utilized to resist deflections. Post-tensioned slabs employ high-strength tensioned steel strands to compress the slabs to retain most of the concrete in compression.

Mulholland, SE, PE, and Demetria E Boatwright, EIT, CDT. As a building material, concrete is particularly susceptible to volume changes, which can be caused by thermal effects, creep, and shrinkage. When materials like concrete are constrained to prevent volume changes, large internal forces and stresses develop.

The main benefit of pre-stressing is that it can apply the dead toad of the unit to minimize the transmission of the tensile stresses in the concrete. But dead load is lost in such members since this tension remains most critical at the ends of the beams, where the alleviating effect owing to dead load is zero.

When we talk about the strength of the concrete we are generally considered compressive strength, because we know that concrete is strong in compression and weak in tension. What Is Hardened Concrete? Hardened concrete is one of the strongest and durable construction material s. The concrete is mainly used for its compressive strength.
