Abstract:
A design and construction technique using post-tensioned concrete roof slabs for buildings is described in detail on one particular high school structure and other buildings. It is pointed out that the watertight, exposed concrete roof structure requires no roofing materials, thus sving initial costs as well as maintenance costs. [Author]
