Dr. Aalami authors Guidelines for the Design of Post-Tensioned Floors  Read Article >>ABSTRACT: 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. Title: Guidelines for the Design of Post-Tensioned Floors Author(s): Bijan O. Aalami and Jennifer D. Jurgens Publication: Concrete International Volume: 25 Issue: 3 Date: March 1, 2003 ADAPT used to design first Post-Tensioned structures in three countries
