Post Tension Slab: Benefits and Disbenefits of Post Tension Slab
Although concrete is a solid material for construction, it's not invulnerable to breakdown, particularly where longer concrete slabs are required like during a bridge or a span of a beam. For this, the concrete slab is tensioned with a process called pre-stressing, and therefore the slab of concrete that comes out after this process is understood as a post-tension slab. This slab is far stronger also as more durable than the traditional concrete slabs. In today’s world, where modern engineering is finding new ways to create longer, more efficient, and stronger structures, a post-tension slab becomes one of their chief requirements. There are many benefits and drawbacks of post-tensioned slabs which we'll discuss during this post. Benefits of Post Tension Slab Post tension slabs are advantageous in some ways. a number of the main benefits of post-tension slabs are as follows. * Reduced cost: Post tension slabs are excellent ways to construct stronger structures at a reasonabl...
