Post Tensioned Concrete is a method of concrete construction utilizing multiple strands of stressed steel tendons (or cables) placed throughout a concrete slab for reinforcement. These tendons offer enhanced structural support that allows concrete to be placed at thinner depths and allows for greater spans between supporting columns or beams.
​
These tendons are placed in groups, throughout the slab before the concrete is poured. Once the concrete is placed and cured, these tendons are then stressed with a special device to create tension in the slab and support suspended concrete sections. Post-tensioning is utilized in many of today’s concrete structures such as bridges, multi-family apartment buildings, and car parking garages.

​Post tension tendons can require repair if they become damaged from corrosion as well as accidental breakage from concrete cutting and coring.
