"PT cable" is also known as "Post-Tensioning cable." Post-Tensioning is a technique used into strengthen concrete structures. It involves inserting high-strength PT Cables into member before connecting.
Once the concrete has hardened to a specific strength, the post-tensioning cables are tensioned using hydraulic jacks. It compresses the concrete and improves its strength and durability.
Increase load-bearing capacity and improve overall performance.
It helps to reduce cracking.
