Post-tensioning is a method of reinforcing (strengthening) concrete or other materials with high-strength steel strands or bars, typically referred to as tendons.
Post-tensioning applications include:-
office and apartment buildings,
parking structures,
slabs-on-ground,
bridges,
sports stadiums,
rock and soil anchors,
water-tanks.
In many cases, post tensioning allows construction that…
Under what situation shall engineers use jacking at one end only and from both ends in prestressing work?
February 23, 2016
Prestressing is now a must-to-have phenomenon in every mega project whether it includes flyovers or dam or whatever. During the design procedures a very important question that arises in the mind of the engineer is; whether to use jacking at one end only or from both…
15+ Important Points for Grouting of Post Tensioning Tendons - Backfill Grouting
August 28, 2015
Pre-tensioning and Post-tensioning is one of the widely used methods to enhance the load carrying capacity of the concrete structures like bridges, flyovers, dam spillways etc. After completing the pre-stressing the ducts or sheath pipes in post-tensioning is to be grouted…
Post tensioning structures are used in the design of buildings, bridges, and other structures with great tensile strength. There are several different types of materials used to make these structures, including steel cables and bars, high-strength steels, concrete, or fiberglass with or without steel fibers.
When the material is put under tension during construction (or later through the use of…
