Post tensioning can help create innovative concrete components that are thinner longer and stronger than ever before Many of today s high performance concrete structures including many landmark bridges and buildings employ some type of prestressing Parking garages high rise residential towers and many other kinds of structures
Post tensioned systems consist of a series of cables embedded within concrete slabs that once stressed support the loads imposed on the slabs Figure 1 An unbonded system uses tendons placed within sheathing so that after the concrete hardens the tendons can move along the sheathing within the slab without bonding to the concrete
The post tensioned structural system uses unbonded steel tendons in ducts in large timber box beams In moment resisting timber frames the horizontal steel tendons also pass through the columns providing moment resistance Added advantages for extreme loading are ductility and total re centring of the building after an earthquake
