Abstract:
This article presents the state-of-the-art in the design and application of post-tensioning in building construction. It summarizes the features of post-tensioning that have led to its wide acceptance in the United States and describes the principal design considerations. The basic concepts of post-tensioned construction are discussed and both common construction geometries and limiting design factors are introduced.
