14 2. Prestressed slab-column system
The prestressed slab-column system uses horizontal prestressing in
two orthogonal directions to achieve continuity.
The precast concrete column elements are 1 to 3 stories high. The
reinforced concrete floor slabs fit the clear span between columns.
After erecting the slabs and columns of a story, the columns and floor
slabs are prestressed by means of prestressing tendons that pass
through ducts in the columns at the floor level and along the gaps
left between adjacent slabs.
After prestressing, the gaps between the slabs are filled with in situ
concrete and the tendons then become bonded with the spans.
Seismic loads are resisted mainly by the shear walls (precast or cast-
in-place) positioned between the columns at appropriate locations.
