Post-Tensioning

Post-tensioning is a technique used to produce prestressed concrete, masonry, and other structural components. In this process, steel tendons are tensioned after the concrete has been placed. The tendons are stretched between sturdy bulkheads that can bear external stresses before being surrounded by concrete. 

When is the structural element is heavy, the post-tensioning method is recommended. Construction that would normally be unfeasible due to site limitations or architectural requirements has become possible due to this technique. It is a technique that needs specific expertise and well-trained personnel. This procedure could be used on any structure, whether residential, commercial, or office buildings. It is widely used in bridges, floor slabs, silos, and other concrete structures.
