Abstract:
A tendon-identifying, post-tensioned, elevated concrete slab, and method and form panel apparatus for constructing the same, provides a distinctively-patterned bottom side slab surface in which the slab has a full thickness dimension extending along each individual post-tensioning uniform and banded tendon embedded within the slab and a reduced-thickness dimension in the areas between each individual, adjacent laterally spaced apart, longitudinally extending uniform tendon of the post-tensioning system, whereby the location of embedded tendons can be identified by the full thickness areas of the slab appearing as prominent, elongated rib-like surfaces extending between inwardly recessed surfaces of the bottom side of the slab.
