Post-Tensioned Concrete Slab
Post-Tensioned Concrete Slabs provide many advantages over the Conventional Reinforced Concrete Slabs. Harnessing this PT technology, PT Solutions has helped architects, engineers and contractors overcome their restrictions.
The benefits offered to all stakeholders in a project include:
Greater clear spans
The number of columns can be reduced allowing for greater flexibility of layout and expanded open
spaces.
Thinner slabs
With thinner slabs, the floor to ceiling height is maximized allowing for more floors to be built given the same building
height. This also creates additional savings on the cost of cladding and services.
Reduction in material usage and construction costs
As compared with normal reinforced concrete, Post-Tensioned Concrete Slabs
requires less steel and concrete which in turn reduces labor costs.
Enhanced construction speed
With reduced quantities of reinforcement within the slabs, construction schedules are accelerated. The
stressing of the post-tensioning system at early concrete age also allows a faster shoring and re-shoring cycle.
Design flexibility
Able to cope with difficult or complex geometry, follow irregular column grids and curved edges.
Minimizes and Controls Cracking
Post-tensioning will reduce cracking and keep any cracks that might form tight, preventing entry of
insects and reducing possible water penetration.
More environment friendly
Carbon footprint is reduced due to the reduced quantity of concrete and steel required.
