Listed are questions relating to the design and production of engineered
plans for post-tensioned
slab projects.
What information is required in order to
design a post-tensioned slab foundation?
- Complete architectural drawings with
structural calculations.
- A current soil report for the site by
a qualified Geotechnical Engineer.
- A grading plan for the site if located
upon a hillside or where cut/fill operations have been performed.
Is a conventional foundation plan
adequate for the basis of design?
Yes provided it is accompanied by the
appropriate structural calculations or loads. However it must be
followed up later with elevations & etc..
Are PTD's drawings suitable for
plan-check and construction?
Yes. Our drawings consist of both
the engineered design and shop drawings which are suitable for tendon fabrication
and placement.
