🕑 Reading time 1 minute Post tension slab is a combination of conventional slab reinforcement and additional protruding high strength steel tendons which are consequently subjected to tension after the concrete has set This hybridisation helps achieve the formation of a much thinner slab with a longer span devoid of any column free spaces In this article

Pre tensioning or post tensioning This is the most important classification and is based on the sequence of casting the concrete and applying tension to the tendons Linear or circular prestressing This classification is based on the shape of the member prestressed Full limited or partial prestressing
Prestressed concrete is a form of concrete used in construction It is substantially quot prestressed quot during production in a manner that strengthens it against tensile forces which will exist when in service 3–5 This compression is produced by the tensioning of high strength quot tendons quot located within or adjacent to the concrete and is done to improve the performance of the concrete in
What is Post Tensioning Introduction Post tensioning is a method of producing prestressed concrete masonry and other structural elements The term prestressing is used to describe the process of introducing internal forces or stress into a concrete or masonry element during the construction process in order to
In the early fifties post tensioning systems for the prestressing of concrete were developed by specialists such as VSL in Switzerland Even though post tensioning is a mature technology it is still a fantastic tool for the design engineer as it enables the active definition of the internal load path in concrete structures by superposing a favorable state for the internal stresses

In the Norwegian North Sea the energy company Equinor is building the largest floating offshore wind farm Hywind Tampen is also a pilot project for offshore wind power industry using concrete SPAR buoys This technology is based on post tensioning to ensure optimal resistance and durability of the structure
Post tensioning is a special form of prestressed concrete in which the prestressing tendons are stressed after the concrete is cast Post tensioning utilizes high quality high strength steel such that 1 kg of post tensioning strand may replace 3 or 4 kg of ordinary non prestressed reinforcement This can reduce congestion in members Post
Post Tensioning Force Transfer by Steel Concrete bond Force Transfer at end anchor Strain Compatibility and Force Equilibrium Steel held at length longer than it wants to be Tension Concrete compressed shorter than it wants to be Compression
Post Tensioning in Prestressed Concrete The alternative to pre tensioning is post tensioning In a post tensioned beam the tendons are stressed and each end is anchored to the concrete section after the concrete has been cast and has attained sufficient strength to safely withstand the prestressing force as shown in fig 2
