pdhonline.comPost-Tensioned Industrial Floors: The advantages of post-tensioning for industrial floors are: 1. Less concrete, i.e. reduced slab thickness. 2. Reduction or elimination of random cracks. 3. Substantial reduction in joints, i.e. increased spacing of joints. Post-tensioning is an active rather than passive form of reinforcing. In other words, post-

Once the concrete is sufficiently strong, the tendons are

Reported by Committee 302 - American Concrete Institute
www.concrete.orgChapter 5 addresses the design of concrete floors as it relates to their constructibility. Specific design requirements for concrete floor construction are found in ACI 360R for slabs-on-ground, ACI 223R for shrinkage-compensating concrete floors, and ACI 421.1R and 421.2R for suspended floors. 5.2—Slabs-on-ground
