Post-Tensioning Bars – Bar Tensioning
Post-Tensioning bars are used for permanent works such as connecting various segments of bridge structures, shear keys for seismic resistance at the connection of segments or girders and piers, and reinforcement of piers that are subject to horizontal pre-stressing forces.
They are also used for temporary works such as anchoring of temporary steel frame supports, lifting bars for segment launching trusses, and stitching bridge segments.
These bars need to have sufficient strength properties to carry the heavy loads of structures and pre-loading to balance the external loads structures are subjected to at a later stage.
As per your project requirements, we can provide both fully-threaded bars and smooth bars, with a full range of accessories.
