Abstract:
This article presents a set of guidelines intended to assist designers in routine post-tensioning design, beginning with a discussion of the initial decisions that must be made to design post-tensioned floor members. We then provide a set of recommendations, derived from industry practice, which have yielded economical designs with good in-service performance. Where applicable, we based the guidelines on ACI 318-02 and IBC 2000.
