Post Tensioning –Buildings
With a well qualified and experienced design team along with highly dedicated and experiment operation team AA Alwardi Post Tension WLL is well positioned to propose our valuable clients with suitable floor systems for their buildings. The floor system is fixed based on the span, functional requirements, loading parameters and site constraint.
- Post Tension Flat Plate / Flat Slab
- Post Tension Flat Slab With Drop Panel
- Post Tension Beam Slab
- Post Tension Transfer Plate / Girder
- Post Tension Raft Foundation
- Post Tension Ribbed Slab
- Post Tension Void Slab
Post Tension- Flat Plate / Flat Slab
A flat plate is a one- or two-way system usually supported directly on columns or load bearing walls. It is one of the most common forms of construction of floors in buildings. The principal feature of the flat plate floor is a uniform or near-uniform thickness with a flat soffit which requires only simple formwork and is easy to construct. The floor allows great flexibility for locating horizontal services above a suspended ceiling or in a bulkhead. The economical span of a flat plate for low to medium loads is usually limited by the need to control long-term deflection and may need to be sensibly.
Post Tension- Flat Slab With Drop Panel
In a flat slab there is a thickened slab in region at the vicinity of the column that either includes drop panel or column capital. Depth of the drop panel will be twice the thickness of the slab. Construction of flat slabs is one of the quickest methods available. Lead times are very short as this is one of the most common forms of construction.
Post Tension- Beam Slab
Usually BEAM & SLAB systems are recommended only for special applications, as there are often more cost effective alternatives. One of the special applications is the long-span, post – tensioned beam and slab system that is popular for column-free, free-standing parking structures.
Post TensionTransfer Plate / Girder
A Transfer Girder is used to transfer point load of column from the above storeys and transfer them to the supporting column. The forces generated in the beams exactly above transfer girder keep varying as construction progresses, which need to be taken into account while designing.
Post TensionRaft Foundation
Usually Post Tension Raft Foundation systems are recommended only for special applications, as there are often more cost effective alternatives.
Post TensionRibbed Slab
Usually Post Tension Ribbed systems are recommended only for special applications, as there are often more cost effective alternatives.
