What is Post-Tensioning?
Post-tensioning is a method of reinforcing concrete using high-strength steel strands or bars, which are tensioned after the concrete has been cast. This technique enhances the structural performance of concrete, enabling it to handle greater loads, span longer distances, and reduce cracking and deflection.
how it works
1. Tendons (steel cables) are placed within ducts in the formwork before concrete is poured.
2. Once the concrete gains strength, the tendons are tensioned using hydraulic jacks and then anchored at the ends.
3. The applied tension compresses the concrete, enhancing its ability to resist tensile forces and reducing the risk of cracking.
