SLAB
DO’S & DON’TS
![Page 2: Tennis Court Post-Tension Concrete slab Do's & Don'ts · PDF fileTENNIS COURT POST-TENSION CONCRETE QUESTIONS 1. Who and what factors determine cable spacing? 2. What is good, better,](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051507/5a707a6f7f8b9a9d538c040e/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
THE DO’S AND DON’TS
The Do’s
• Foam wrap all posts that are in the PT slab, full depth of concrete
• Pocket formers tight against forms / check during pour and keep clean
• Rebar @ corners, especially diagonal corners.
• Minimum of 6” concrete coverage beyond posts in slab
• Expansion joints at walls to allow for slab expansion during hot temperatures
• Make sure to lift and chair up cables when using a laser screed
• Make sure plastic covers old court completely when pouring over old courts
• If pouring on top of a retaining wall place a
wood chamfer strip at bottom the perimeter turn down to help create separation between them.
• Place a 24 hour pre-stress on cables
The Don’ts
• Do not allow new concrete to touch any other solid structures beneath
• Do not place/pour turn down up against an old court during overlay’s
• Do not pour if weather is sketchy…wind, rain etc….
• Do not pour on Monday’s

5 KEY POINTS FROM THE POST-TENSIONING INSTITUTE
DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF POST-TENSIONED SPORTS
• The geometry of a slab, and the various elements that can restrain a slab and prevent it from shortening under prestressing force, play a critical role in the successful construction of the post-tensioned sport courts.
• The design provide for a minimum residual compressive stress at the plan center of the slab of 100 psi. (some prefer 150 psi or slightly higher)
• Minimum allowed thickness is 4”, minimum recommended concrete strength at 28 days is 3000 psi., initial stressing strength of 2000 psi as soon as possible after concrete placement.
• 80% jacking force of the tendons minimum ultimate tensile strength (MUTS). A temporary jacking force of 80% is the maximum force allowed by code and is not to be exceeded during the stressing operations.
• Consideration of slab/sub-grade friction: Even if polyethylene sheeting is not required or specified as a vapor retarder, it may prove desirable to utilize it to reduce the friction coefficient. Caution should be exercised if polyethylene sheeting is used when placing concrete in hot weather. Mixing water will tend to evaporate more quickly at the surface than at the soffit, causing the slab to have a higher rate of shrinkage in the top and the bottom. This can lead to non-uniform curing of the slab section and can result in curling and surface shrinkage cracking.
