English term or phrase: Post Tension Slab
Design slab in the high rise building.
Sharif
papak pasca-tegangan
Explanation:
- my suggestion is simply a direct translation using existing civil engineering and contruction terms from DBP.

- " post tensioned slab" is a method of floor slab construction using prestressed concrete (konkrit prategasan).

- there appears to be no BM equivalent yet for this term/method and this may be due to civil engineering and construction circles in malaysia simply using the english term to date.
