Post-Tensioning Institute – Sustainability Case Study

The following case study was created and distributed by the members of Post-Tensioning Institute.  It details the advantages of using Post-Tensioned concrete reinforcement for buildings.

The highlights include:

Heights savings with Post-Tensioned Concrete in lieu of Structural Steel.
Cost comparison between Post-Tensioning and Conventionally Reinforced Concrete.
Reduction of construction materials.
Potential USGBC LEED points gained with Post-Tension.

Barrier Cable Systems

Barrier Strand (or Barrier Cable) is primarily used in parking structures for vehicular and/or pedestrian restraint along the ramps or perimeter.  This restraint system is different from the ‘Cable Barrier’ used along highways.

Barrier Cable is comprised of a 0.5 inch diameter, 7-wire high-strength steel strand.  This strand should meet the requirements of ASTM-A416 and Post-Tensioning . . . → Read More: Barrier Cable Systems

Material Properties of Post-Tension Strands

The following is a list of basic formulas for 270 ksi, 7-wire Prestressing steel strand (per ASTM-A416) used in Post-Tensioned concrete. . . . → Read More: Material Properties of Post-Tension Strands
