Implications upon using exterior post-tensioning tendons to retrofit a low strength concrete waffle slab [PDF]
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2019 A common problem when casting reinforced concrete structures is to have a lower concrete compressive strength as opposed to what has been assumed in design. The deflections that may occur under the serviceability conditions can exceed the maximum allowed.
