Little has been published about the demolition of post-tensioned concrete but there is enough such concrete now in service to become a problem for demolition contractors. When a demolition sequence is being planned it is important to have a knowledge of the erection procedure and a set of the as-built record drawings.
DetailsConstruction of post-tensioned concrete members. In post-tensioned concrete, the concrete is cast around hollow ducts that are fitted to any desired profile after the formwork is in place. Normally, the steel tendons are in the ducts during the concrete pour, unstressed in them. However, they can also be threaded through the ducts at a …

For a lightly loaded industrial floor, the slab is placed 4 inches thick with tendons in both directions at 2- to 5-foot intervals. After the concrete has reached sufficient strength, the ...
Detailsas non -prestressed. For too long, non-prestressed and prestressed concrete have been treated as completely seperate entities and hence, prestressing is not yet regarded as a familiar and desirable construction option by many developers, architects, engineers and contractors. Post-tensioning in buildings is not limited to floor slabs.

DetailsA: Post-tensioning is essentially a method of producing prestressed concrete and other structural elements. The term pre-stressing is used to describe the method of applying internal forces (or stress) to a concrete element during the construction process in order to counter the external loads imposed when the structure is placed into use.
