Abstract:
The PS=Ø system allows engineers to design post-tensioned (PT) and reinforced concrete members with more restraint releases and without the construction schedule delays of traditional pour strips. With or without temporary PT stressing strips, PS=Ø couplers can be used as restraint relief details in slab-to-slab, slab-to-wall, and beam-to-beam joints.
