In the realm of modern construction and structural engineering, post-tension slabs have emerged as a remarkable innovation that has revolutionized the way we build large-scale infrastructure and buildings. These slabs offer a plethora of advantages over conventional concrete slabs, making them an increasingly popular choice in contemporary construction projects.
A post-tension slab is a type of reinforced concrete slab that uses high-strength steel tendons or cables to reinforce the concrete and provide additional structural support. Unlike traditional reinforced concrete slabs, where the steel bars are placed before pouring concrete, post-tensioning involves tensioning the steel cables after the concrete has been cast. This process allows the concrete to compress and increases its load-carrying capacity significantly.
In this course, we will cover the analysis, design, and construction of post-tension slabs.
