This manual is used in conjunction with PTI's Bonded Post-Tensioning – Field Installation/Field Specialist training program. The course is intended to train field personnel involved in the installation, stressing, grouting, and inspection of grouted post-tensioning systems. The manual focuses on multi-strand tendons;  however, post-tensioned bar systems are also covered. It includes a discussion of post-tensioning system materials and components, materials testing, installation, stressing, grouting, corrosion protection, safety, and troubleshooting.
