What is a Post-Tension?
The post tension system was first used in
construction in 1933 in France. It was quickly applied in many large projects
around the world. Post Tension has spread widely in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
over the past years due to its speed in construction, cost savings, earthquake
resistance, crack prevention, and environmental preservation. It has been used
in high buildings, residential complexes, hotels, bridges, tunnels, and
strengthening facilities
The post-tensioned concrete system relies on subjecting
the concrete element to lateral forces aligned with the sector's axis. This is
accomplished by inserting cables inside the concrete element and then
tightening them using hydraulic machines specially designed for post-tensioning
work after the concrete pouring process. This generates horizontal compressive
forces, which, in turn, create vertical forces within the cables to
counterbalance the loads to which the element is exposed, ultimately leading to
its stability.
Advantages Of Post-Tension Concrete
NABNY uses the latest construction technologies to provide clients with
efficient, cost-effective designs that contribute to a sustainable built
environment. Perhaps the most cutting-edge construction technology today is the
use of post-tensioned concrete in many types of structures.
Slabs
The thickness of the slabs is at least 20% less than
other slab systems such as Hollow Block Slab and flat slabs.
Reinforcement
By reducing the weight of steel in the slab up to
60%, we can effectively decrease the density of reinforced concrete.
Columns and foundations
PT system allows for large spans between columns, making it
ideal for commercial purposes. Additionally, our unique slab and structure
design can lead to a foundation saving of no less than 10%.
Construction time
PT system allows for quicker formwork dismantling, with the
option to do so just 3 days after pouring the slab or when the stress of the
concrete cubes reaches 70% of the design strength. This is a significant
improvement compared to normal slabs, which typically require 21 days.
