The document presents a cost comparison between Post-Tensioning (PT) and Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC) flat slabs for various panel sizes over an area of 25,000 sqm. It details the costs per square meter and square foot for both systems, highlighting significant savings with PT slabs, along with indirect advantages such as larger spans, faster construction cycles, and reduced dead loads. The analysis shows that PT systems are generally more cost-effective and efficient compared to traditional RCC systems.

INDIRECT ADVANTAGES OF POST TENSIONING
1. Larger free Space / Larger Span for Commercial, Shopping Complex, IT Parks. 2. Faster Floor to Floor Construction Cycle time (7days per Slab) due to simplified form work and reduced quantities of materials. 3. Reinforcement Qty is less compare to RCC Flat Slab 4. Reduction in overall building height, there by additional floors are possible in height restricted zones. 5. Dead load is decreased, due to thinner slab which will make cost savings in Foundation, Columns design and more resistant’s to seismic force. 6.
