Prestressing of structural concrete beams

Abstract

The use of the post-tensioning technology in this building structure has been extensive and systematic. The tendons used are composed of 15 strands f 0,6?. The quantity of pre-stressing steel, more than 1.000.000 Kg, is really more than the usual in post-tensioned buildings. The quality of the post-tensioning process is very high due to a systematic control of all the installation steps.
