This Graduation Thesis is a fulfillment requirement to obtain Bachelor degree.
This thesis aims to undertake a structural-economical based comparison between reinforced concrete flat slabs and its counterpart the post-tensioned flat slabs in a water facility structure, where the comparison between the two slabs in terms of cost and the structural design. The flat slab of the underground water tank was designed with accordance to AC318-05 as well as using design programs Prokon and ADAPT-PT to ensure the accuracy of manual calculations for the reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete design consecutively.
