Design and Construction of Flat Slab using Unbonded Post-tension System

비부착 포스트텐션 플랫 슬래브의 설계와 시공

The flat slab is well-known as a structural system to reduce the story height, so it is broadly used for recent building. However, the normal RC flat slab is not appropriate for the long span, and the quantity of reinforcement bar and concrete is raised. Recently, the post-tensioning system has been introduced and used widely as an alternative method. Nevertheless, in Korea, it is not used broadly due to lack of the understanding and field experience. Especially, the post-tensioning system is hesitated to use due to uncertainty of construction ability and economics. This paper will introduce applicability to site and economics of unbonded post-tensioning system through construction examples.
