POST-TENSIONING
BUILDING TOWARDS THE FUTURE
Technology
Post-tensioning can be defined as the induction of external forces into any structural element to improve its stress and strain state.
External forces are induced by a system of cables tensioned within the structural element itself.
Postensa develops not only specific construction systems for each project, but also the equipment required to carry it out and the training process for its valuable workforce.
Benefits of Post-Tensioning
Efficiency in the
use of concrete
- Section reduction up to 30%
- Reduction of reinforcing steel to minimum quantities
Relief
of the structure
- Lower weight of structure and foundations
- Reduction of earthquake effects
Design accuracy using the finite element method
- Dimension reactive forces with great precision
- Control deflections of structural elements
From idea to structure
Post-tensioned technology applications, in addition to providing solutions to a wide range of technical challenges, enable the implementation of multiple construction projects. This allows a greater number of specialized crews to intervene simultaneously in each stage of the process, achieving greater efficiency and profitability, as well as a high standard of quality.
