Post-Tensioned Design Best Practices – Case Study Examples

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this detailed webinar on post-tension design best practices, various considerations were discussed, including post-tensioning concepts, slab design, balcony detailing, formwork strategies, and construction considerations. Key points emphasized the importance of load balancing, tendon layout, slab thickness, stud rail layout, stud rail placement, and addressing common issues such as tendon drifts, deflections, and slab tolerances. The presentation highlighted the need for proactive coordination, design for long-term deflections, and strategies to handle unexpected situations like tendon damage or slab deflection issues. The session concluded with a positive note on the capabilities of post-tensioning technology in enabling efficient and reliable structural design solutions. Interested viewers were encouraged to reach out for more in-depth discussions or information on specific topics. The upcoming webinars will cover topics such as IBC 2024 code changes for PT slab-on-grade, resilience of PT segmental bridges, and evaluation of existing PT concrete structures.
