CHANGING THE FACE OF THE POST-TENSIONING INSTITUTE

The Post-Tensioning Institute (PTI) is a trade association for post-tensioning material fabricators, prestressing strand manufacturers, accessory suppliers, contractors and design professionals. This article describes PTI's restructuring to better serve its members. The association has updated its strategic plan and is committed to developing quality materials, education programs and technical information dissemination. PTI has taken the lead on developing specifications for both grouting and unbonded single strand tendons. Certification programs for plants and installers have been created to help its members meet quality expectations.
