Dimensions (sizing)
¾ Optimum spans; optimum thickness
An optimum design is one in which the reinforcement determined for “service condition” is used in its entirety for “strength condition.”
PT amount in service condition is governed mostly by: ¾ Hypothetical tensile stresses ¾ Tendon spacing
Spans: between 7 m – 9 m ft Span/thickness ratios
¾ 40 for interior ¾ 35 for exterior with no overhang
¾ Skeletal Systems share load ¾ Slab systems may not share load, depending on reinforcement layout

Preliminary Considerations Design of Post-Tensioned Floors Assumption of releases at connections, or reduced stiffness for selected members is made prior to analysis to achieve a more economical design.

An important aspect of load path selection in a two-way system is that every point of the slab should be assigned to a specific design strip. No portion of the slab should be left unassigned.

All the three options yield safe designs.
But, each will give a different amount of reinforcement. The EFM is suggested by ACI-318. To some extent, it accounts for biaxial action of the prototype structure in the frame model. 3D FEM software can improve optimization

Using engineering judgment, select the locations that are likely to be critical. Typically, these are at the face of support and for hand calculation at mid-span At each section selected for check, use the design actions applicable to the entire design section and apply those to the entire cross-section of the design section to arrive at the hypothetical stresses used in code check.

In span, provide rebar if the hypothetical tensile stress exceeds 0.16√f’c The amount of reinforcement As is given by: As = N / (0.5fy) where N is the tensile force in tension zone
As = Area of steel required Acf = Larger of cross-sectional area of the strip in direction of analysis and orthogonal to it.
STEP 7 Deflection Check Read deflections from the frame analysis of the design strip for dead, live and PT; (ΔDL , ΔLL , and ΔPT ). . Make the following load combinations and check against the allowable values for each case ¾ Total Deflection (1 + 2)(ΔDL + ΔPT + 0.3 ΔLL ) + 0.7 ΔLL < span/240 This is on the premise of sustained load being 0.3 time the design live load. It is for visual effects; Provide camber to reduce value, where needed and practical ¾ Immediate deflection from live load Δimmediate = 1.00ΔL < span/480 This check is applicable, where non-structural members are likely to be damaged. Otherwise, span/240 applies ¾ Presence of members likely to be damaged from sustained deflection (1+ 2)(0.3 ΔLL ) + 0.7 ΔLL < span/360

STEP 8 Strength Check A comment on capacity versus demand ¾ Post-tensioned members possess both a positive and negative moment capacity along the member length ¾ Rebar needs to be added, where capacity falls short of demand ¾ First, find the capacity and compare it with demand
STEP 8 Strength Check ¾ The figure below shows the forces on a PT member. In calculating the force from PT tendons, use either the ACI 318 or the following simplified procedure, based on parametric study of common building structures can be used for slabs
¾ f’c ≥ 28 MPa; P/A ≤ 1.7 MPa ¾ c/dt ≤ 0.375 ; dt is distance from compression fiber to farthest tension rebar ¾ Tendon Length ≤ 38 m for single end stressing; if length ≤ 76 m double end stressing ¾ fps is conservatively 1480 MPa if span is less than 10 m ¾ fps is conservatively 1340 MPa if span is greater than 10 m

transfer of unbalanced moment at supports ¾ Unbalanced moment (Mc)is defined as the difference between the design moments on the opposite sides of a column support. This is the moment that is resisted by the support. ¾ The reinforcement associated with the transfer of unbalanced moment must be placed over a narrow band at the support (next slide) ¾ In most cases, this provision leads to a “detailing” requirement, as opposed to added rebar, since the reinforcement for slab design is in excess of that needed for transfer of unbalanced moment.

At stressing: Tendon has its maximum force; Concrete is at its weakest strength; and Live load to counteract prestressing is absent
At stressing check extreme fiber stresses ¾ Add rebar when “representative”
