Seminar Description

This free web seminar will briefly introduce and demonstrate the newly implemented features in PT Designer, a software for designing post-tensioned floors. While doing so it will go over some design examples. The examples will include a two-way slab, long span beam and a two-way structural mat foundation. The three examples will be straight forward and highlight the steps used to create an efficient, code compliant and state-of-practice design. The seminar will guide the viewers through all the steps involved in the design of these structures in PT Designer and explain the associated results. The examples will be useful to both the novice and seasoned designer. Additionally, the seminar will highlight upon the intuitive and user-friendly interface, along with the built-in warnings and functions to help promote good designs.
