Chapter 16: Composite Materials
Post-tensioning • Post-tensioning is the method of achieving pre-stressing after the concrete has hardened and takes advantage of concrete's inherent compressive strength. • Concrete is exceptionally strong in compression, but generally weak when subjected to tension forces or forces that pull it apart. These tension forces can be created by
