Post tensioning in building construction This introduces the core concepts and steps for software based structural design and construction of post tensioned buildings illustrated with several example designs to Eurocode and American building codes including the numerical design of a column supported floor system used in contemporary building construction and a beam frame for a parking structure. It covers and compares bonded and unbonded post tensioning systems and presents the detailing of post tensioned members for crack mitigation plus the detailing of tendons along with different profiles for optimum design and performance. It is a guide for practicing engineers and a more practical text for graduate students
