SUMMARY OF POST-TENSIONING EXECUTION
POST-TENSIONING INSTALLATION • FORMWORK • SIDE-SHUTTER • FIXING OF ANCHORS • MARKING OF THE SLAB • TENDON INSTALLATION • PROFILING & FINISHING
CHECKING BEFORE THE CASTING • No. OF ANCHORS AND TENDONS • PROFILES • GROUT VENTS • BURSTING REINFORCEMENT • Additional Rebar (Bursting, Punching Shear) • PROPPING AND FORMWORK
CASTING • PROPER VIBRATION AROUND THE ANCHORS • CONCRETE TO BE PLACED WITHOUT DAMAGING THE TENDONS • PROPER CURING OF THE CONCRETE AFTER THE CASTING
STRESSING • REMOVE THE SIDE-SHUTTER • CRUSH CUBE FOR TESTING THE CONCRETE STRENGTH • START STRESSING TO 100% IF CONCRETE IS AT 25 MPA IN LESS THAN 3 DAYS • DO PARTIAL STRESSING IF REQUIRED • TAKE READINGS AFTER
APPROVAL • SEND STRESSING RECORDS TO THE P/T CONSULTANT FOR APPROVAL • CUT THE TAILS AFTER APPROVAL • FILL THE POCKETS • PREPARE FOR GROUTING
GROUTING • SHUTTER CAN BE REMOVED • ADEQUATE PROPPING TO BE PLACED • GROUTING OPERATIONS CAN START AT ANY TIME
