Post Tension Foundation Pour

Out with Azteca Concrete on a post tension foundation pour testing out my new Tomahawk Concrete Sprayer with some curing compound, see how it fairs against the strong winds of the west!

I love how you helped them out, great job to the whole crew 💕👏👍 I enjoyed learning about post tension, not familiar with that

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Thanks so much

[@BillyLapTop]

What a great video David. Post tension is an interesting process. Seems to be popular in desert climates.

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Hillsides I think is where it occurs most

I found that Post Tension Cable stamp on my garage floor when I bought my house so I did an internet search to see what that meant. I don’t see it used very often.

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

it's rare but more common on hillsides

[@weedwacker1716]

Oh, hey, did you hear about what happened just in that area the other day? A prison bus and a cement mixer collided on the highway. The cops are out searching for hardened criminals.

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

I didn't hear about the bus, but I did see a death from a collision with a concrete truck

[@1sttigertiger426]

These hardened criminals are set in their ways. It is too late now, but they should have been re-formed.

If that area were to be left open it would be a great catching area for rain or the garage's roof could do the same work. I have not idea about the technicalities but I will ask my friend Google :) Nice job as always!

That would be cool

They would have handled it, but I had to jump in. Better early then late.

[@Pippy626]

In Las Vegas my moms house was post tension but then accidentally cut the wires when the builder was trying to cut the end of garage frame because the door would not seal and it was wet inside the garage when it rained. (This was after 2 repair try’s in 1996

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

sounds dangerous

Yes, and Elon is recruiting workers from here

[@carstenbuilds]

Why would you want to do a post tension slab? Is it because of the climate? Seems risky for the side pulling you mentioned. I pour in the pnw we drill into existing when possible and add rebar and wet down and cover cracks a a minimal. We usually saw cut 2nd day depending on weather we’re cold up here tho

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Hillsides usually call for post tension

[@CrimsonYetiCartoons]

Hey Mr. Odell. I don't know if it was your video, but someone was spraying their formboards with a weedpump sprayer filled with motor oil and something else. What else was in the sprayer? Just oil would be too thick and water won't mix with it. Do you oil your formboards?

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Sometimes I use form oil

[@Zack_man-qd7fp]

Question, if you have plumbing running underneath a post tension slab, how are you supposed to do repairs if the plumbing leaks in a high-rise building.

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Plumbing in highrise have access below floors

[@theone4042]

What about in the future when people remodel and cut through the slab to run piping?

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Overhead

[@georgemichaels2325]

What are they going to do about drainage with that slope down to the slab?

A tension slab? I’ve seen it on second floors but never on first floor. Why this and not just rebar?Educate us on this Dave.

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Hillside homes often get this treatment

[@ahodamahingan1698]

As I understand, there are a couple reasons why this slab would be used as opposed to a normal slab on grade. One is there are no normal footers required as the tension created spreads the load without having large footers. Second is a post tension slab does very well over expansive clay type soils. They are somewhat considered a ‘floating’ slab and are less prone to be affected by those soil conditions. This is why these slabs tend to be more common in regions with those type soils.

Sounds good
