Pre Tensioning 2 Post Tensioning In Post tensioning the steel tendons are tensioned after the concrete has been cast and hardened Post tensioning is performed by two main operations tensioning the steel wires or strands by hydraulic jacks that stretch the strands while bearing against the ends of the member and then replacing the jacks by permanent anchorages that
Sr No Pre tensioning method Post tensioning method 1 It is done in the factories thus suitable for precast construction works It can be done in factories as well as on the site 2 Small sections are to be constructed Size of member is not restricted long span
VSL post tensioning technology includes several systems that are specifically designed for different applications and requirements The choice of a suitable system can be made by considering three key criteria Type of structural element – the depth of the structural element influences the type of system to be used
