Abstract

Generally Reinforced concrete (RCC) frame structure are made of concrete, steel and other materials while PostTensioned (PT) building are made of same material with including tendons, the yield strength of tendon is about four times than
HYSD deformed bars so that the member section of PT member is reduce compare to normal RC members so that behavior of
both the section may be different during an earthquake of the same building so it is very important to check behavior of pt
building and its max. force and moment compare with RC building and also there are many advantages of PT building so that its
use is so vast in residential as well as commercial and other important building.
