Years ago I was monitoring post tension 13 stories up. Behind the job in the bay Danny Glover and Joe Pesci were filming scenes from "Gone Fishin".

Si estás cerca te revienta cualquier párte de tu cuerpo la máquina pesa más o menos 80 lbs si te agarra ta cabron. Pero nada de eso pasa si el cable está bien y el concreto listo aparte el trabajo de los instaladores son muchas razones ten cuidado

What is better for concrete foundation rebar or cable thanks?
@attilabodi8262 жыл бұрын
Tension cables seem great in theory but I think rebar would make it more secure since cables have 2 points of failure since they can slide inside the plastic while rebar is secure all the way though. Since this is new technology only time will tell.

New technology ? We started installing PT in houses in the late 80's now in Arizona over 80% of homes have it.

@@posttension3251 Good to know. Although I'm looking at it long term. Like how will it perform in 80+ years? I lived in a converted factory loft, it was built with rebar in the late 1800s. The thing is still solid w only small hairline cracks near the roofs from the 70's when they were neglected/abandoned - it's in the northeast so ice and rain is more of an issue here than in AZ. Complete speculation, but here's what I see happening with tension cables outside places like AZ - places that have weather: since tension cables are installed after the concrete dries the concrete near the anchors (the outer edges) will start to crack or near the center since tension is not equally distributed. Since the cables can shift inside the tubes, all it takes is one anchor to fail for the entire cable to be rendered useless. Once one cable fails the rest will follow.

@@posttension3251 I was just listening to some southern builders and they're saying PT foundations will cost at least 4 times that to repair compared reinforced slabs....dunno. I get why they use it for bridges and high rises but for residential I don't think I'd choose it.

Yeah you dont want to stand behind or in front of the cable in case of a pull through ( its where you pull the metal cable too far) the ram will shoot out of the hole and will break a bone. And you shouldnt stand behind the cable (on top of the concrete slab behind it) because if the ram were to fall off of the cable it will swing back and hit you and it will hurt and cut you

Hey Rex Nice video you took High tough work. I was the superintendent at San Diego Sheet metal then , we tried to get that job and bid on it, Lenard was the estimator and I was helping him, I kept telling him bid up because of the loading Hight time and the high winds at that height, and a bunch of other problems , so we lost, Lenard should have not listened to me

Where's my tiny violin when I need it? Dude, hate to be a prick but it's people who buy or build on the edge of an ocean, river bank, wildfire-prone ravines and then act all surprised when nature actually has the balls to takes its course. And just from the visuals, I'd say your neighbor is better off than you. I would get a HELOC and pay a cement contractor to backfill the void under the breakwater structure...hell, maybe even replace the breakwater structure. Looks pretty sketchy. It may cost 100K but that's probably a drop in the bucket compared to your investment. Just sayin'-An ounce of prevention beats a pound of cure.
