At Tension ONE LLC, our editorial mission is straightforward: to produce the most technically accurate, practically useful, and professionally reliable content available on post-tension slab engineering. Every article, guide, calculation tutorial, and resource shared on tension1.com is designed to serve one audience : engineers, contractors, architects, and construction professionals who need trustworthy information they can apply on real projects, particularly in the Texas market.
We do not publish content for the sake of traffic or volume. We publish content because we have something technically meaningful to contribute, grounded in hands-on project experience across Africa and Europe.
All primary content on tension1.com — including blog articles, technical guides, Excel sheet documentation, and resource descriptions — is written by Joseph Touriri, the founder of Tension ONE LLC and a civil engineer with extensive private-sector experience in post-tension slab design and execution on major international projects.
Joseph's background spans complex post-tensioning projects across multiple countries, giving him direct field experience with the full project lifecycle: from preliminary design and structural calculations to tendon layout, stressing sequences, and as-built documentation. You can learn more on his Author Page.
All content produced on this site is guided by recognized international and American engineering standards, including but not limited to:
Where calculations are shared (in articles, Excel sheets, or programs), the underlying formulas and design assumptions are explicitly stated so readers can verify and adapt them to their specific project conditions.
Before any technical article or resource is published, it undergoes an internal review process:
Engineering codes and industry best practices evolve. We are committed to keeping our content current and accurate over time. When a significant update to a standard (e.g., a new edition of ACI 318) affects previously published content, we update the relevant articles and note the revision date at the top of the page.
If you identify a technical error or outdated information in any of our articles, we welcome your feedback. Please contact us at info@tension1.com. Verified corrections are applied promptly and transparently.
Our editorial content is fully independent of our commercial activities (consulting services, resource sales, and affiliate partnerships). A product, book, or tool is only mentioned editorially because it provides genuine value to the reader — not because of any commercial relationship. When an affiliate link is present, it is disclosed in accordance with our Affiliate Disclosure Policy.
Consulting clients and service contracts have no influence on the objectivity or content of our articles and technical guides.
At this time, Tension ONE LLC does not accept sponsored articles or paid editorial placements. Any potential future change to this policy will be clearly communicated and any sponsored content will be unambiguously labeled as such at the top of the page.
