Post-tensioning is a technique forreinforcing concrete slabs with high-strength tendons.Tendons retain much more concrete in compression. Posttension floors are capable of bearing almost every deadload due to their tensioned tendons, which aid to performlive loads acts on slabs & make them stronger thantraditional slabs. For commercial and residential floors,PT slabs are suggested for comparatively limited depths,less heavy weights and free floor elevation. The researchon the R.C.C and PT slab has been reviewed, with anintegrative impact with the lateral load. The primary aimof this, is to review the reaction and behaviouralcharacteristics of the post-tension flat plate during anearthquake and to contrast it with the traditional slab. Forthis purpose, the past papers related to the PT slab werestudied and a successful conclusion has been made.
