1 POST-TENSIONING IN BUILDING STRUCTURES Ed Cross1 BE, ( ), MIEAust, CPEng SUMMARY This paper outlines the major advantages of the use of POST-TENSIONING in BUILDING STRUCTURES . Economics of the POST-TENSIONING slab system are discussed including relative material contents, speed of construction, and factors affecting the cost of POST-TENSIONING . Various post - tensioned structural systems are presented, along with their relative advantages, applicability to various situations, and span to depth ratios to enable a designer to select the correct slab and beam thickness for a variety of situations.
4 POST-TENSIONED BUILDINGS - ADVANTAGES Post-tensioned concrete slabs in buildings have many advantages over reinforced concrete slabs and other structural systems for both single and multi-level structures.
