Post-tensioning is a technique for reinforcing concrete slabs with high-strength tendons. Tendons retain much more concrete in compression. Posttension floors are capable of bearing almost every dead load due to their tensioned tendons, which aid to perform live loads acts on slabs & make them stronger than traditional slabs. For commercial and residential floors, PT slabs are suggested for comparatively limited depths, less heavy weights and free floor elevation. The research on the R.C.C and PT slab has been reviewed, with an integrative impact with the lateral load. The primary aim of this, is to review the reaction and behavioural characteristics of the post-tension flat plate during an earthquake and to contrast it with the traditional slab. For this purpose, the past papers related to the PT slab were studied and a successful conclusion has been made.

A full-scale lateral load test of a pile group consisting of 16 (4 by 4) prestressed 76-cm-square concrete piles was conducted at Roosevelt Bridge, Stuart, Florida, during the summer of 1996. Presented are ( a) in situ test results, ( b) various p-y curves from these tests, and ( c) comparisons of various computer predictions (FLPIER, GROUP, and PIGR3D) using p-y curves tempered with results from a single-pile load test. From these comparisons, the best Class A prediction is made for the 16-pile group using FLPIER with nonlinear pile properties; p-y multipliers of 0.8, 0.4, 0.3, and 0.3 for the leading, middle, and trailing two rows, respectively; and dilatometer test—pressuremeter test p-y curves. This prediction suggests that an average load per pile of 280 kN will produce a deflection of 0.1 m (63 kips/pile at a deflection of 3.9 in.) for the test group.
