Design Brief For PT Slabs

The document provides design guidelines for post-tensioned concrete slabs. It specifies that design shall follow ACI 318-2008 for gravity loads and additional reinforcement may be needed for lateral loads. Post-tensioning shall use bonded tendons. Concrete grade shall be M40 and reinforcement shall be fy 500 steel bars. Stressing limits, flexural and shear strength design procedures are defined according to clauses of ACI 318-2008. Deflection limits shall follow IS 456-2000.
