Morning Session

▪ In the first presentation, learn clearly and practically what you need to know for design or investigation of a post-tensioned
floor system, or beam frames. Become skilled in the underlying concepts and their practical applications.
▪ In the second presentation, follow step by step the long-hand design of a real-life column-supported post-tensioned floor.
▪ Find out if and how ACI 318-14 affects your post-tensioning designs.
▪ Become familiar with underlying basics and differences of the commercially available software for post-tensioning design.
▪ Learn about new and efficient migration to the integrated design of entire building frames, all in the environment of a single
building model, including post-tensioning. Avoid errors in transferring data from one software to the next; thus saving time
and avoiding costly errors.


Afternoon Session
▪ PT Installation and Durability Considerations: Discuss requirements for encapsulated P-T systems depending on exposure,
installation of P-T systems, pre-pour checklist, sheathing repairs and cathodic protection.
▪ Designing PT Repairs: Understanding the root cause, methods for developing a successful repair plan starting with drawing
review, visual inspection, non-destructive testing and internal component inspection.
▪ Repairs Strategies and Techniques: Discuss structural and personnel safety, slab anchor replacement, button-head system
repairs, splice repairs, strand replacement and slab modifications.
