HISTORY OF POST-TENSIONED CONCRETE SLABS

• Post-tensioned concrete originated during the
  1930s and was developed by a Frenchman Eugene
  Freyssinet, who found that placing concrete under
  compression added greatly to its strength.
• In 1976, the post-tensioned institute was formed
  due to growing interest in this field, however,
  utilization of post-tensioned in tennis courts is
  fairly new.
• Courts were built in California in the late 70s
  using post-tensioning, and it wasnt until 1982
  that the USTC TBA had a general specification
  for post-tensioned tennis court construction.
