Post-Tensioned Concrete Design for Podium Structures

The webinar will focus on the design of post-tensioned structural slabs that support multi levels of conventional wood or metal stud framed buildings. Modeling the weight of the wood/metal building by uniform loads, line loads, and point loads for the design of the post-tensioned slab will be covered. The specific detailing requirements for both building types will be addressed as well as the coordination and detailing of landscape elements that are often required to be supported by the post-tensioned slab. Construction photographs will highlight the interaction and potential congestion of the various components that are installed in the podium slabs.
