Post-Tensioned Concrete

Post-tensioned concrete looks and acts just like any other reinforced concrete. Post-tensioning is simply a way to reinforce concrete in a more active way than just placing reinforcing steel.

This technique, which is a form of prestressing, has several advantages over standard reinforcing steel (rebars):

• it reduces or eliminates shrinkage cracking—therefore no joints, or fewer joints, are needed
• cracks that do form are held tightly together
• it allows slabs and other structural members to be thinner
• it allows us to build slabs on expansive or soft soils
• it lets us design longer spans in elevated members, like floors or beams
