Crack Control and Watertightness
In addition to eliminating caulked joints, post-tensioning helps achieve watertightness by introducing a state of bi-axial compression in the slab, thereby controlling cracks. This is an important advantage because water, dirt and de-icer chemicals leaking through cracks or joints may make parts of a parking structure unusable or require costly repairs.
