EVALUATION OF POST TENSIONED SLAB AND ITS CONTRAST WITH TRADITIONAL RCC SLAB: REVIEW
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.
