POST-TENSIONING CALCULATOR

Plan Smarter with Our Post-Tensioning (PT) Calculator

Our Post-Tensioning (PT) Calculator is a valuable tool for generating preliminary material estimates during the early stages of your project planning. Whether you're designing an office building, residential structure, or parking garage, the calculator provides an efficient way to estimate slab, drop, and beam cross-sections, as well as the approximate weight of rebar and post-tensioning per square foot—based on your input bay and span dimensions. 

Armed with this data, you can quickly develop a preliminary cost estimate tailored to your PT project needs.

Estimation tool for Post-tensioning projects

The calculator supports the following framing types:

  • Office Flat Plate / Residential Flat Plate: Typical office and residential buildings with regular column spacing

  • Office with Wide Shallow Continuous Drops: Office buildings with long spans between core and exterior columns

  • Podium Slab: Multiple-level wood-framed apartments over concrete podium

  • One-Way Parking Garage: Garages with long spans between columns

  • Two-Way Parking Garage: Garages with short to medium spans or limited height clearance
