Advantages of Post-Tensioning

Post-tensioning, 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
