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
Mr. Mathot also designed one of the buildings of the Brussels, Belgium International Airport, which has an approximate floor area of 1,600,000 sq ft (150,000 sq m), using the ADAPT software system and unbonded post-tensioning. ADAPT consulting highlights
