Hi, Hi Joshp18. Welcome to InspectionNews.
Good luck with all your endeavors.

Presuming they made enough cylinders to break and verify concrete strength before post tensioning, and that post tensioning has been done properly ... then post tensioning should have pulled everything tight.

Have they gone back and tensioned the cables yet?

[ROBERT YOUNG]

Good point, Jerry. Tightening cables.
I found an older InspectionNews thread to post tension cables. http://www.inspectionnews.net/home_inspection/sub-structure-home-inspection-and-commercial-inspection/12871-lots-cracks-new-post-tension-slab.html

Hope that helps a bit.
