Post Tension Slab (Post tensioned Slab) - An enhancement over the conventional slab on grade foundation with much of the reinforcing steel (rebar), replaced by sleeved steel cables. The cables are put in place prior to pouring the slab and are tensioned about 3 days after the concrete is poured, when the concrete is still "green". Such slabs are resistant to breaking, but may bend or twist. Time has shown that the post tensioned slab is not always adequate to withstand the forces of expansive clay soil.
