Dear Engineers,
ACI Code is a little bit biased for unbonded post tensioned slabs, back in the middle east we construct only bonded post tesnion, so regarding the minimum Top or Bottom mild reinforcement for the bonded PT is there any limitations I'm not aware of in ACI, I know that by providing a pre-compression stress larger than 130 psi, the shrinkage and temperature requirement is achieved by the PT, Am i missing something? please advice!
