Understanding Balcony Drainage

The structure can be post-tensioned in one or two
directions. The amount of live load included in the
design load for post-tensioning affects the structure’s
initial and final deflection. When the live load hasn’t
been applied, the slab may have an initial upward
camber that assists the drainage. After the live load is
applied, however, the slab may still be cambered
upward, be flat, or sag. Thus, the behavior of posttensioned
slabs and their effect on balcony drainage
must be discussed with the structural engineer before
deciding whether drainage conditions are acceptable
or a repair is needed.
