post-tensioning Explanation: Literally "slack reinforcement", a term that's also sometimes used. This is in contrast to pre-stressed reinforcement, in which the reinforcement is put under tension before the surrounding structure is cast. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prestressed_concrete#Post-tensioned_concrete https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armerad_betong#Slakarmerad_betong |
