Abstract:
A precast concrete post-tensioned segmented equipment tower including a lower segment of a relatively larger diameter, an upper segment of a relatively smaller diameter, and a transition segment there between, with a post-tensioning tendon spanning these segments and imparting a compressive pre-load between the segments, and a slot formed in an inwardly protruding surface of the transition segment for receiving and laterally retaining the tendon during installation and tensioning. The slot may be defined in a saddle formed of high density polyurethane which is cast into the inwardly protruding surface. An intrados surface of the saddle may be curved to impart a bend in the tendon.

Claim (Index 9):
In a precast concrete post-tensioned segmented equipment tower comprising a lower segment of a relatively larger diameter and an upper segment of a relatively smaller diameter, an improvement comprising:\n a slot formed in a surface of the tower for receiving and laterally retaining a post-tensioning tendon of the tower; and a saddle defining the slot, the saddle attached to a transition segment of the tower disposed between the lower and upper segments.
