Post-tensioned flat slab / Khairunissa Ahmad Zakuan

This report was conducted to identify the post-tensioned systems which use to resist load for a building structure. A building load is simply a force that a building structure needs to resist. The fame must be designed to withstand these loads without produce stress on the structure. One of the initiatives to control the stress and load in the structure is by designing the structure using the post-tensioned system. Post-tensioned system has high fatigue strength since the amplitude of the stress changes in the pre-stressing steel under alternating loads are quite small. For this reason, the post-tensioned construction has become to be used in many situations in buildings. The objective of the present for this report is to summarize the experience available today in the field of post-tensioning system for building construction and in particular.
