title = "Analytical study of the effects of tendon layout on the performance of post-tensioned two-way slab systems",
abstract = "This paper presents the results of an analytical study based on finite element analysis to evaluate the effects of different arrangements of tendons on the performance of post-tensioned cast-in-place concrete two-way slab systems. Various arrangements from uniform cable layouts to closely banded arrangements adjacent to column centerlines are considered. The slab is modeled using plate-bending elements in the software package SAP 2000. Equivalent loads based on cable profiles are applied to the slab according to the tendon layout. Moment fields and deflected shapes are compared for the various tendon patterns. Gravity loads are applied in the usual way and superimposed on the results from the equivalent tendon loads to determine net moments and deflections at service load levels. In addition to a study of tendon layouts, the finite-element model is compared with experimental results.",
