Description

This guide provides basic knowledge about post-tensioning design and construction and is primarily intended for design professionals but also for others involved with the design and construction of post-tensioned concrete buildings. Included is information on typical post-tensioned floor systems, proper design and detailing for constructability and to minimize restrain to shortening due to stiff vertical elements, lateral load considerations, preliminary design tables for estimation of material quantities, structural observation, and field inspection.

Features:

Provides knowledge about all aspects of post-tensioning design and construction of concrete buildings designed in accordance with ACI 318 Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete

Information in this Guide makes the designer and the project manager confident in having relevant knowledge to design and build better structures
