Course Overview

This course walks you through the complete modelling, analysis, design and detailing of a
post‐tensioned floor system. It starts from the architect’s drawings and concludes with the
construction drawing, showing the tendons and the non‐prestressed reinforcement. It
also includes the automatic generation of a set of structural calculations, compiled and
ready for submittal to building officials. A session on fabrication drawings (shop drawing;
installation drawing) concludes with the generation of a detailed tendon layout on site,
showing tendon grouping, chair heights and tendon elongation. For those of you
interested in the economics of your design, this course shows you how to obtain a report
on the quantity of reinforcement and post‐tensioning obtained in your design. On the
assumption that the design engineer using the tutorial might not be well versed in the
design of post‐tensioned structures, and hence not able to initiate the design with an
economical selection of tendons for a finite element analysis, this course includes a
session on preliminary design. This preliminary design session will assist you in arriving at
the optimum post‐tensioning force and profile for your project.
