Design publications and software for Post Tensioned slabs on grade
Design publications and software for Post Tensioned slabs on grade
(OP)
My background is in structural steel design and construction management. Need suggestions for a good PT software and design book(s)with examples of post tensioned slabs on grade. It may contain prestressed concrete design. I am aware of what PTI and PCA have. Any other recommendations? Thanks.

What residual stress have you found out to work out best? The book I am reading based on PTI recommendations uses 50-75 psi residual stress. Is this too low?

Care should be taken to ensure that the slab is not restrained and that the thickness is uniform.
There are ways of minimizing cracking and treating control joints without resorting to PT.
