Abstract:
For all concrete structures, cost effectiveness is heavily influenced by the timing of formwork cycling. For post-tensioned structures, review and approval of elongation records is a critical step within each formwork cycle. This article explores the timeliness of reviews, purpose of elongations and tolerances, evaluation of stressing records, and reasonable expectations for all stakeholders.
