What is Post-Tensioning

The hydraulic jacks used to tension the post-tensioning tendons range from compact 60 lb jacks used to stress monostrand tendons and small bar tendons, to very large jacks requiring special hoisting equipment, used to simultaneously tension all of the strands in large multistrand tendons. What is the History and What are Some of the Current Uses?

4.1.2 Pre-Tensioning Prestressing basically can be carried out as pre-tensioning and post-tensioning, referring to the time when the prestressing force is imposed with respect to casting. In pre-tensioning the tendons are anchored to e.g. a stiff frame around the casting bed and are prestressed before the concrete is placed.
