"Structural Modeling and Analysis of Concrete Floor Slabs" (3.0Mb)
- Post-tensioning adds challenges - |
Concrete International, December 2005
This article discusses the similarities and differences between traditional frame methods and finite element methods for the design of floor
slab systems. Through this discussion, it will be illustrated that the finite element method has the greatest potential for being able
to automate this design process due to the reduction in the amount of input required form the designer. Successful automation of
repetitive tasks in the design process would greatly decrease design time and provide the designer with a greater opportunity for
creativity and design optimization.

| "Guidelines for the Design of Post-Tensioned Floors" |
Concrete International, Vol. 25, No. 3, March 2003
This article presents a set of guidelines intended to assist designers in routine
post-tensioning design, beginning with a discussion of the initial decisions that must be made to
design post-tensioned floor members. We then provide a set of recommendations, derived from industry
practice, which have yielded economical designs with good in-service performance. Where applicable,
we based the guidelines on ACI 318-02 and IBC 2000.
