Prestressed Concrete Introduction 1. What is Prestressed Concrete ? prestressed concrete is a method of overcoming concrete natural weakness in tension. it can be used used to produce beams, floors and bridges with a longer span than practical with ordinary reinforced concrete in simple words , Prestressed concrete is a form of concrete used in construction. It is substantially "prestressed" ( compressed ) during production, in a manner that strengthens it against tensile forces which will exist when in service. the prestress is commonly introduced by tensioning high tensile steel reinforcements known as tendons 2. Basic Concept of Prestressing It is meant for improving the behavior and capacity of th...
