Post Tensioning Systems

Prestressing can be defined as giving concrete a desired level of pressure in the opposite direction to tensile stresses under external loads in advance. The live loads on the element proportional to the compressive stresses also increase.

There are two main prestressing method called as pre-tensioned and post-tensioned.

Pre-Tensioned Concrete;

In the prestressed method, cables are located between of the fixed support. In general, the cables are improved tendons in terms of bonding, Afterwards, when the formworks placed, concrete pour. When the concrete gain the adequate strength, the tendons are cutted. Hereby, the concrete are gained pre-stress.

Post-Tensioned Concrete;

The high strength steel strands which are located in the reinforced concrete member is pulled called as a post-tensioned technique.

The post-tensioned technique has the identical advantageous with the prestressed technology.

Thanks to Post-Tension, implementation of the construction can be possible in different conditions.

As İntaç Construction and Engineering company, we used the post-tensioning technique to design single and long span simple beams, long span continuous beams, transfer beams, wide span beamless floors, cantilever slabs, transfer slabs, uncracked continuous slabs needed in industrial buildings, all types of foundations and silos. We offer our services to our customers.

As İntaç Construction and Engineering, we can serve you at every stage of your structures, starting from your architectural design, with our expert architect staff or with the architectural teams you would like to work with. In this way, we can achieve maximum gain by using all the advantages of post-tensioning design together in both architectural design and structural analysis.

If you wish, we can reflect the advantages of post-tensioning designs to your structures design by making all the structural calculations of your completed architecture with our expert staff.

In addition, by taking your building project and calculation reports, whose architectural project and structural calculations have been completed, we can offer you comparative advantages when we make a post-tensioned design.

By revealing the optimum features of the post-tensioning technique in our projects, we maximize the performance of your structure and minimize its cost.
