POST-TENSIONED TRANSFER
GIRDER DESIGN FOR BUILDINGS
Effective Solution
Control of creep
deflections
Control of cracking
Increased load-carrying
capacity
Reduced member depth
CHALLENGES???
CHALLENGES
STAGE PRE-STRESSING
Congestion of mild
reinforcement
Concrete placement
becomes challenging
Research by others on
Steel Fiber Reinforced
Concrete to reduce the
amount of required mild
reinforcement
