Applications of Post-Tensioning
Applications of Post-Tensioning There are post-tensioning applications in almost all facets of construction. In building construction, post-tensioning allows longer clear spans, thinner slabs, fewer beams and more slender, dramatic elements. Thinner slabs mean less concrete is required. In addition, it…

Coupling Beams
Coupling Beams Coupling beams greatly influence the behavior of coupled wall systems. In order to ensure adequate coupling beam behavior under earthquake-induced deformations and stresses, intricate reinforcement detailing is required for reinforced concrete coupling beams, typically in the form of…
