In building construction, post-tensioning allows longer clear spans, thinner slabs, fewer beams and more slender, dramatic elements. Thinner slabs mean less concrete is required. In addition, it means a lower overall building height for the same floor-to-floor height. Posttensioning can thus allow a significant reduction in building weight versus a conventional concrete building with the same number of floors. This reduces the foundation load and can be a major advantage in seismic areas. A lower building height can also translate to considerable savings in mechanical systems and <span id=\"IL_AD11\" class=\"IL_AD\">fa\u00e7ade<\/span> costs. Another advantage of post-tensioning is that beams and slabs can be continuous, i.e. a single beam can run continuously from one end of the building to the other. Structurally, this is much more efficient than having a beam that just goes from one column to the next.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Post-tensioning is the system of choice for parking structures\u00a0since it allows a high degree of flexibility in the column layout, span lengths and ramp configurations. Post-tensioned parking garages can be either stand-alone structures or one or more floors in an office or residential building. In areas where there are expansive <span id=\"IL_AD5\" class=\"IL_AD\">clays<\/span> or soils with low bearing capacity, post-tensioned slabs-on-ground and mat foundations reduce problems with cracking and differential settlement. Post-tensioning allows bridges to be built to very demanding geometry requirements, including complex curves, variable super elevation and significant grade changes. Post-tensioning also allows extremely long span bridges to be constructed without the use of temporary intermediate supports. This minimizes the impact on the environment and avoids <span id=\"IL_AD7\" class=\"IL_AD\">disruption<\/span> to water or road traffic below. In stadiums, post-tensioning allows long clear spans and very creative architecture. Post-tensioned rock and soil <span id=\"IL_AD2\" class=\"IL_AD\">anchors<\/span> are used in tunneling and slope stabilization and as tie-backs for <span id=\"IL_AD9\" class=\"IL_AD\">excavations<\/span>. Post-tensioning can also be used to produce virtually crack-free concrete for water-tanks.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Applications of Post-Tensioning There are post-tensioning applications in almost all facets of construction.
