Applications

The use of post t ensioned slab systems has been conSIStently growing in the recent years.

Typical applications have been:

  • Private residential housing
  • Offices
  • Car parks
  • Shopping centres
  • Hospitals
  • Hotels & apartments
  • Industrial buildings
  • Transverse prestressing of bridge deck slabs

Advantages

The main advantages of post tensioned slab over conventional reinforced concrete slab.

May be summarised as follows:

  • Increased clear spans
  • Thinner slabs
  • Lighter structures
  • Reduced cracking & deflections
  • Reduced storey height
  • Rapid construction
  • Better water tightness

Types of Post Tensioned Slab System (PTSS)

The use of post tensioned slab s stems has been conSIStently growing in the recent years.
Typical applications have been:

 


Solid Flat Slap


Solid Flat Slab
with Drop Panel


Banded Flat Slab


Coffered Flat Slab

Bonded or Unbonded Tendons

Post tensioned slab systems can be constucted using either bonded or unbonded tendons. The relative merits of the two techniques are subject to debate.

The following points may be made in favour of each:

 

Bonded

  • Develops higher ultimate flexural strength
  • Does not depend upon the anchorage after grouting
  • Localised the effects of damage
  • Simple technique for demolishing or providing future opening in slab
  •  

Unbonded

  • Provide greater available lever arm
  • Reduces friction losses
  • Simplifies prefabrications of tendons
  • Grouting not required
  • Can be constructed faster
  • Generally cheaper
