Q » How is post-tensioned concrete different from conventional reinforced concrete?
17 Oct, 2025
A » Post-tensioned concrete differs from conventional reinforced concrete in that it includes steel tendons that are tensioned after the concrete has set, providing additional strength and reducing cracking. This method allows for longer spans and thinner slabs compared to traditional reinforcement. Conventional reinforced concrete, on the other hand, relies on rebar placed before pouring, which is not tensioned and is more susceptible to larger deflections under load.
