Post Tensioning and Reinforced Concrete Detailing on Site

Post tensioned slabs and complex reinforced concrete offer slender, efficient structures but leave no room for detailing or stressing errors. This course covers the site management of post tensioning and demanding reinforced concrete detailing, from tendon layout to stressing and grouting. It supports African commercial and infrastructure projects adopting these methods to build longer spans and thinner floors.

What you will be able to do

  • Read post tensioning and reinforced concrete detailing drawings.
  • Supervise tendon layout, ducts, anchorages and reinforcement.
  • Coordinate concrete placing around congested detailing.
  • Oversee stressing sequences and record elongation results.
  • Manage grouting, sealing and protection of tendons.
  • Control safety exclusion zones during stressing operations.
