Unbonded Post-Tensioning System (Mono-Strand PT System)

Evolved from Grouted Post-Tensioning System before 1950 for Building Construction Application

No need of grouting (Grouting activity is eliminated)

Saving of Cost and Time and Material ?Installation made easier and flexible

Mono-strand System

Each cable can be managed individually

Induces less stress concentration to green concrete

It can work efficiently in lesser depths where ducts can not work efficiently

Better elastic behavior as far as earthquake event is concerned. Post-quake residual deformation is lesser.
