Post-tensioned slabs (PT slabs) (1) 
2 effects of the post-tensioning on the structures: 
• Compression force 
• Balanced loads 
Global impact on the building design: 
• reduced structure height 
• No beams needed 
Sketches from commercial documentation Freyssinet 
PT slabs can be used in all kind of buildings : office buildings , apartment's building, hospital, 
commercial center's, parking's, sport infrastructures, …
Post-tensioned slabs (PT slabs) (2) 
Specific design consideration regarding to PT structures 
Sketches from PT-structures.com 
The slab has to be able to shorten freely at jacking 
(elastic shortening due to the compressive forces) 
When unfavorable cases occurs, specific execution details can be adopted to maximize the 
compression force in the slab.
Post-tensioned slabs (PT slabs) (3) 
Execution design studies : 
usually in charge of specialized sub-contractors, as it is also the practice in the industry for 
precast elements

Lightened PT slabs (1) 
Basic solution : polystyrene blocs (IMEC tower) 
Other solutions : Cobiax, Uboot, Bubbledeck, … 
The self-weight reduction is typically about 20% to 30% with this kind of solution. 
This allows to reduce the PT and RC ratios in the slabs. 
The economical balance has to be checked between material earnings and weight-reducing element 
costs.

  • 3. Post-tensioned slabs (PT slabs) (1) 2 effects of the post-tensioning on the structures: • Compression force • Balanced loads Global impact on the building design: • reduced structure height • No beams needed Sketches from commercial documentation Freyssinet PT slabs can be used in all kind of buildings : office buildings , apartment's building, hospital, commercial center's, parking's, sport infrastructures, …
  • 4. Post-tensioned slabs (PT slabs) (2) Specific design consideration regarding to PT structures Sketches from PT-structures.com The slab has to be able to shorten freely at jacking (elastic shortening due to the compressive forces) When unfavorable cases occurs, specific execution details can be adopted to maximize the compression force in the slab.
