This paper describes the potentials and features of a post-tensioning system which uses thin, high-strength steel strips as tendons. Its primary realm of application is in prestressed concrete pressure vessels. The system can be used with radial jacking or with a tensioning-by-winding technique. Tests to destruction of an 800-ton capacity tendon are described in detail.
