PUBLICATIONS

One of PTI’s principal functions is to provide technical guidance on the design,

construction, maintenance and repair/rehabilitation of post-tensioned concrete structures.

PTI has published over 30 informative manuals and technical guides covering most aspects

of post-tensioning. In addition, PTI publishes a Technical Journal, newsletters, Technical

Notes, Frequently Asked Questions, and Technical Updates which give an in-depth

discussion and/or analysis of issues pertinent to designers in the post-tensioning field.

PT MANUAL

PTI TAB.1-06: Post-Tensioning Manual-Sixth Edition

The first edition of the Post-Tensioning Manual was published in 1972. The manual provided the industry standard for the design and construction of post-tensioned structures. Subsequent editions reflected the growing use of post-tensioning.

There have been significant advancements in post-tensioning technology in the last two decades. Post-tensioning is now used in many new areas, ranging from residential slabs-on-ground to large stay-cable bridges. As a result, the sixth edition contains updated information on the current practices in the use, design, and construction of post-tensioning. The sixth edition has been extensively rewritten and expanded from the fifth edition, which was published in 1990. The manual contains 12 new chapters that give design guidance on modern applications of post-tensioning. All of the original chapters have been completely revised and modified to reflect the current industry practices. New topics include seismic design, post-tensioned concrete floors, parking structures, slabs-on-ground, bridges, stay cables, storage structures, barrier cables, dynamic and fatigue, durability, inspection and maintenance, and field and plant certification. This book is an invaluable resource for practicing engineers, architects, students, educators, contractors, inspectors, and building officials, providing basic information and essential principles of post-tensioning.

PTI M50.1-98: Acceptance Standards for Post-Tensioning Systems

This publication provides specific technical requirements for the approval and acceptance of post-tensioning systems. Standards and performance requirements for prestressing materials, bearing plates, wedge plates, connections, and sheathing are discussed in detail. Qualification tests and acceptance criteria are presented for each of the individual components as well as for the complete system. A system approval summary outlines the test requirements and number of successful tests necessary for approval of a post-tensioning system. This document is not intended to cover unbonded

PLANT CERTIFICATION

In 2014, PTI will celebrate the 25th anniversary of its American National Standards

Institute (ANSI) accredited PTI Plant Certification program. PTI offers two programs for

certifying the processes of facilities producing materials used in post-tensioning systems.

Visit www.post-tensioning.org/cert_plant.php to learn more about PTI Plant Certification and

view a listing of all of the plants that are currently certified.

PLANT CERTIFICATION

CERTIFICATION OF PLANTS PRODUCING UNBONDED SINGLE

STRAND TENDONS (PROCESS CERTIFICATION)

Launched in 1989, the Post-Tensioning Institute (PTI) program for Certification of Plants Producing Unbonded Single-Strand Tendons has been developed to provide independent certification of a plant’s extrusion and/or fabrication process and its capability to produce standard and/or encapsulated unbonded single-strand tendons. This certification program also includes evaluation of calibration practices for jacks and gauges used for stressing single-strand tendons. The program is applicable to all facilities whether fixed or mobile.

The certification of a plant under this program indicates that the plant and the personnel are capable of producing unbonded single-strand tendons in conformance with the Post-Tensioning Institute’s Specification for Unbonded Single-Strand Tendons. The certification program extends only to the process for extrusion and/or fabrication procedures and materials within the examined plant and is expressly not intended to cover procedures or events subsequent to shipment of tendons to the job site.

Program Requirements:

The procedures and requirements of the PTI Unbonded Tendon Plant Certification Program are set forth in the following documents which can be downloaded at http://www.post-tensioning.org/cert_plant_cert.php:

• Manual for Certification of Plants Producing Unbonded Single Strand Tendons (PTI-CRT20 G1-0713): Sets forth the procedures and administrative and technical requirements for plant certification.

• PTI Quality Management System Manual (PTI-CRT20 G2-0713): Documents PTI’s quality system and sets forth procedures and requirements for the operation and administration of the UTPC program.

• Nonconformity Action Plan Template (PTI-CRT20 F30-1013)

:

Template provided for plants to report their Nonconformity Action Plan.

APPLICATION FORMS CAN BE DOWNLOADED AT http://www.post-tensioning.org/cert_plant_cert.php

CERTIFICATION OF PLANTS PRODUCING PRESTRESSED CONCRETE

(PC) STRAND (PROCESS CERTIFICATION)

The second PTI certification program is for the certification of the quality control process of plants that

manufacture prestressing steel strand (PC Strand). The program includes standardization of reporting practices and documentation and establishes required testing procedures and specified minimum intervals. The certification of a facility under this program indicates that the facility and its personnel are employing a process capable of producing PC strand in conformance with the program’s requirements.

To date, several international plants in Asia and the Middle East have been certified and inspections of additional plants are underway.

IN-DEPTH DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF POST-TENSIONED

BUILDING STRUCTURES

A Full-Day Seminar (8 PDH/0.8 CEU credits)

This intensive and in-depth seminar will cover most aspects of the design and analysis of post-tensioned structures and will include hands-on training with practical examples of new post-tensioned building structures.

This comprehensive seminar was developed for engineers and designers actively involved in post-tensioning design.

Highlights of the course include:

• Preliminary Design: Factors that affect the selection of structural systems, key aspects and steps involved in the design of tensioned structures, and important recent building code provisions relating to the design of post-tensioned structures.

• Detailed Analysis: Effective techniques for modeling of one- and two-way slabs, detailed examples of common types of structural systems using hand calculations as well as commonly used software, and hands-on exercises of practical situations to explain the basic concepts.

• Detailing and Structural Drawings: Causes of restraint and ways of mitigating problems arising from restraint, common design mistakes that are seen on structural drawings and solutions to common design/construction situations; repairs of post-tensioned structures.

DESIGN OF POST-TENSIONED SLAB-ON-GROUND FOUNDATIONS

(8 PDH/0.8 CEU credits)

This comprehensive, in-depth seminar is intended for geotechnical and structural engineers and others involved in the design of post-tensioned slabs-on-ground on expansive soils. The seminar will highlight the new features and changes of the recently published PTI DC10.5-12 “Standard Requirements for Design and Analysis of Shallow Post-Tensioned Concrete Foundations on Expansive Soils.”

Practical guidance will be given on: • Evaluating climate and site conditions • Determining relevant soil properties

• Predicting soil movements using the new geotechnical analysis procedure • Designing for the controlling criteria of moments, shear, and deflection • Applying the new cracked-section provisions

The seminar will heavily emphasize design practice and will present recommendations for optimizing PT slab designs. Design comparisons and examples will be presented to demonstrate these concepts and the application of the
