post-tensioning
Literally "slack reinforcement", a term that's also sometimes used. This is in contrast to pre-stressed reinforcement, in which the reinforcement is put under tension before the surrounding structure is cast.

Note from asker:
| I just got this from Gullbergs engelska fackordbok on ord.se: slakarmerad betong = non-tensioned reinforced concrete https://ne.ord.se/ordbok/svenska/en-gul-fac/s%C3%B6k/slakarmerad What do you think? It seems a bit different to what's on Wikipedia. |
