Concrete element which derives its primary strength from a longitudinal compression force provided by high strength steel strands, embedded in the wall, which are tensioned after the concrete hardens. See post-tensioning.
French: Panneau à précontrainte postérieure
Post-tensioning
A method of prestressing a concrete member in which cables or bars are placed in ducts through the concrete member. When the concrete reaches a specified strength, the tendons are tensioned by jacking against the member and then anchored to it. See also p
