Post Tensioning Applications In Cantilever Slabs

In metropolises where vertical construction is common, it has become inevitable to create social living spaces on the balconies and terraces of high-rise buildings. Cantilever slabs and pools and hobby gardens built on these slabs are frequently encountered. Although it is not possible to manufacture cantilever slabs in these openings and under these loads with classical reinforced concrete methods, it becomes possible by using post-tensioning systems.

Panoramic glass designs preferred in villa designs, cantilever slabs preferred to create volume on the upper floors have made the use of post-tensioning systems compulsory. With post-tensioning systems, the desired cantilever slabs can be easily constructed.
