the multi-level car park “république” in reims, finished in october 2020 and built of reinforced concrete, has a capacity of 745 parks reachable via ramps that allow access to vehicles up to the roof. in order to optimize the inner spaces of circulation and to add two rows of car parks, the project had to be realized with 16 m large spans. the designers decided to use lightened slabs with u-boot® beton in reinforced concrete coupled with a post-tension system. the presence of the two technolo...

we recently had a 5,696 square foot post tension slab poured here in north texas on 2/14/2014. as of today, march 3 no one has come back out to stress the tendons in our slab. today i noticed, what i (the homeowner) consider, severe cracking in the slab. now i understand that there is some cracking that can happen due to shrinkage and the fact that the pt cables are unbonded to concrete. i accepted that. but what i am witnessing today is very long cracks (some over 50’ in length) that go ac...
post-tensioning has become a strong contender for manufacturing reinforced concrete (rc) members, especially for flat slabs in large-span structures. post-tensioned (pt) slabs can lead to considerable material savings while reducing the embodied carbon (embodied co2), construction time, and life cycle maintenance and repair costs. in this research, a novel hybrid firefly–artificial neural network (firefly–ann) computational intelligence model was developed to estimate the cost effectiveness and embodied co2 of pt slabs with different design variables. to develop the dataset, several numerical models with various design variables, including the pattern of tendons, slab thickness, mechanical properties of materials, and span of slabs, were developed to investigate the sustainability and economic competitiveness of the derived designs compared to benchmark conventional rc flat slabs. several performance measures, including punching shear and heel drop vibration induced by human activity, were used as design constraints to satisfy safety and serviceability criteria. the economic competitiveness of pt slabs was more evident in larger spans where the cost and embodied co2 emissions decreased by 39% and 12%, respectively, in pt slabs with a 12-m span length compared to conventional rc slabs. sensitivity analysis also confirmed that the cost and embodied co2 emissions were very sensitive to the slab thickness by 86% and 62%, respectively.

the document discusses the use of post-tensioning in concrete slab construction for high-rise buildings. post-tensioning allows for larger floor spans without requiring thicker slabs and beams, reducing material costs. it provides benefits like decreased deflection and cracking compared to conventionally reinforced concrete. there is a trend toward post-tensioning due to demands for open floor plans with fewer supports that maximize rental space. while reinforced concrete is sufficient for spans up to 8 meters, post-tensioning enables even larger floorspaces. it results in lighter, more economical structures for tall buildings by reducing floor-to-floor heights. proper sequencing and timing of post-tensioning is important to minimize cracking as the concrete cures.
