Unbonded Post-Tension System

Unbonded post-tension is a system where individual tendons are coated with grease and protected by a plastic sheath before being placed in the concrete.

Unlike bonded systems, the tendons are not grouted after stressing. They remain independent within the slab, allowing greater flexibility and faster execution.

This system is widely used in building construction for its efficiency and cost optimization.

System Characteristics
Individually greased for corrosion protection
Covered with a protective plastic sheath
Anchored at both ends
Stressed after concrete curing

The system allows the slab to perform efficiently while reducing overall structural weight.
