INTRODUCTION
Prestressed concrete is a method for overcoming concrete's natural
weakness in tension.
• They are
Pre- tensioned concrete
Post tensioned concrete
PRE-TENSIONED CONCRETE
Pre-tensioned concrete is cast around
already tensioned tendons.
Post-tensioning tendons, which are prestressing steel cables inside plastic ducts
or sleeves, are positioned in the forms before the concrete is placed.
Afterwards, once the concrete has gained strength but before the service loads
are applied, the cables are pulled tight, or tensioned, and anchored against the
outer edges of the concrete.
