Fabricated and Stock Rebar - Post-Tension Services of Oklahoma

Post-tensioning is widely used in structures that require high durability and specific architectural flexibility: tenseness

: Significantly reduces cracking and deflection under heavy loads. Common Applications Fabricated and Stock Rebar - Post-Tension Services of

: Enables architects to design larger open spaces with fewer support columns. hydraulic jacks stretch the cables

: Steel tendons are laid in plastic sheaths before the concrete pour. Once the concrete gains sufficient strength, hydraulic jacks stretch the cables, which are then locked into place with anchors. Key Benefits :

: Unlike standard rebar, which is "passive" and only works once the concrete begins to crack, post-tensioning is "active" because it keeps the concrete under constant compression.

: Allows for thinner concrete sections and reduced material usage.
