Post-tensioned slab-on-grade: What is at stake?

Efficient and thoughtful service is guaranteed with Ruiyi.

Conventional industrial concrete floors present numerous drawbacks that can impact productivity, safety, and sometimes even soil pollution.

• They are slow and costly to construct.
• They can be worn away by heavy traffic, such as forklifts and trucks, or heavy loads from stocks.
• They can suffer abrasions from heavy cargo and differential temperature variations.
• Frequent joints and weak reinforcement systems pose a major failure risk, leading to joint maintenance, costly repairs, and equipment damage.

Ultimately, this results in asset unavailability, directly affecting productivity.

A post-tensioned slab on grade addresses these issues, offering real value for money:

• With few or no joints, it is less prone to cracking or damage.
• Being thinner and lighter, its construction cycle is shorter, saving time and money. It is also less expensive than most other slab/pavement systems at the construction stage.
• The slab has a much longer lifespan compared to conventional slabs.
• Offers substantial performance benefits as a single continuous space is much more flexible for industrial operations.
• Vehicles enjoy a smoother ride on the surface, reducing maintenance costs and enhancing safety.
• It is fully adapted to rapid logistics equipment such as fast-moving robots and high-stacking.

There are two main methods for prestressing concrete: pre-tensioning and post-tensioning. In pre-tensioning, steel wires are stretched and anchored before the concrete is poured. In post-tensioning, the steel wires are tensioned after the concrete has cured. Pre-tensioning is commonly used for smaller pre-cast elements like beams and piles due to transportation limitations, while post-tensioning allows for tensioning of steel on-site and is used for larger structures like bridges. Both methods aim to compress the concrete through internal stresses from tensioned steel reinforcement.
