3 PRESENTATION TOPICS & OVERVIEWS |
|
DECEMBER 3
Basics of Post-Tensioned Concrete
|
|
PRESENTER:
Tim D. Christle, PE | Manager, Technical Program Development
Post-Tensioning Institute
OVERVIEW:
This presentation will feature an overview of important issues to consider in the design and construction of post-tensioned concrete building structures. Highlights include common field issues for unbonded post-tensioning in elevated structures as well as slab-on-ground; the importance of certification in the manufacture and installation of post-tensioning systems; best practices for plans and specifications for PT buildings; and considerations for retrofitting existing PT structures.

DECEMBER 10
Post-Tensioned Podium Slab Design
|
|
PRESENTER:
Bryan Allred, SE | Vice President | Seneca Structural Engineering, Inc.
OVERVIEW:
The presentation will cover the design of podium type structures, with an emphasis on aspects that are specific to unbonded post-tensioned systems. Topics such as determining the correct slab thickness, load balancing, pre-compression levels and construction detailing will be covered. The presentation will also include job site photographs to highlight the items discussed.

DECEMBER 17
How to Repair, Modify, Maintain and Evaluate
Existing Post-Tensioned Concrete Structures
|
|
PRESENTER:
Sanjiv Inamdar, Senior Director, Strengthening Solutions
STRUCTURAL Technologies
OVERVIEW:
Use of post tensioning systems in concrete structures started in the mid 1950's. By placing the concrete in compression, it increased its strength and many other benefits such as longer spans, less columns, thinner/lighter sections, reduced shoring/reshoring time, etc. which all offer both engineering and cost advantages. Typical post tensioning prestressing steel, anchors, sheathing and protection systems have all dramatically changed since their inception.
This presentation will discuss the evolution of these changes, the problems they created, repair strategies and the long-term solutions provided the new encapsulated post tension systems that are used today. Also presented will be modifications to post tension slabs such as penetrations, typical damage and repair, means, methods and materials used to address these problems.
