Can you give more info. The reason for post tensioning a slab is to give it camber so when it is loaded the slab does not deflect( negitivly bow). If this is a on grade slab I see no need to put strand(the cable) in it. Just use the right amount of rabar.

The post tension slabs I've worked on were for commercial buildings that were open under the slabs--fewer support columns-more open area. Even those had a lot of re-rod in them, so I'm not sure how it can be "versus". Is the slab poured in place, as a high rise building would be? If it isn't open underneath, I see no point in the added expense (cables)and labor (post tension hydraulics) necessary to do this. ChrisH(IA) (formerly from El Reno)
