Post-tensioning is a technique that enhances the strength and durability of concrete structures by applying tension to high-strength steel cables/Strands that have been anchored within the concrete. The cables /strands are tensioned after the concrete has been cast using hydraulic jacks, creating a compressive stress in the concrete that counteract the tensile stresses caused by loads on the structure.
Post-tensioning Technologies is commonly used in the construction of bridges, parking garages, high-rise buildings, and other large concrete structures which offer a range of benefits for various structural applications:
Post-tensioning strengthens and stability of concrete structures, enabling them to support heavier loads, making it an ideal choice for bridges, high-rises and more
Post-tensioning allows for thinner slabs and extended span lengths, optimizing space utilization and design possibilities.
Post-tensioning mitigates shrinkage cracking thus control deflection and enhancing the appearance and durability of structures.
Post-tensioned structures exhibit increased resistance to cracking, superior seismic performance, and extended lifespan.
Post-tensioning can be applied to slabs, beams, columns, and more, offering design flexibility for architects and engineers.
Post-tensioned structures perform saving in materials comparing to traditional concrete system, leading to a cost savings for owners and operators over time.
Post-tensioning can expedite construction Cycles, providing quicker returns on investments for stakeholders.
Decrease in carbon emissions make post-tensioning an eco-friendly choice.
