    Prestressed concrete is a type of concrete where tension is applied to reinforcements before concrete is poured. This places the concrete in compression and reinforcement in tension, allowing for improved structural capacity compared to reinforced concrete. There are two types - pre-tensioning where reinforcements are tensioned before pouring concrete, and post-tensioning where concrete is poured first and then reinforcements are tensioned. Prestress is lost over time through various mechanisms like elastic shortening, creep, shrinkage and relaxation. Despite losses, prestressed concrete enables longer spans and higher load capacities compared to reinforced concrete.

    What is Prestressed-Concrete(PC) ?

    • Pre-stressing is the appliction of initial load on the structure


    to enable the structure to counteract the stresses arising
    during its service period.

    • Compression is produced by the tensioning of high-


    strength tendons .

    • This can result in improved structural capacity and


    serviceability compared to conventionally reinforced
    concrete .
    What is Different from RC ?
    Stresses in RC Beam
    Stress in Prestressed Beam
    Types Of Prestressing
    Pre-tensioning
     The steel wires or tendons are tensioned first
    and the concrete is poured later.
    Tendons are temporarily anchored and
    tensioned and the prestress is transferred to the
    concrete after it is hardened.
    Tendon tries to shrink back to the original
    length, but resisted by the bond between the
    concrete thereby inducing compressive force in
    it.
    Pre-tensioning
    Post-tensioning
     Concrete is poured first, allowed to harden and the
    tendons is tensioned later.
    Tendons are placed in sheathing at suitable places in the
    member before casting and later after hardening of
    concrete.
    Prestress Losses
    The difference of prestressing force between initial and final
    prestressing force is called loss of prestress
     Immediate Losses 10-20%
    -Anchorage
    -Friction
    -Elastic Shortening
    Long Term Losses(Time depending loss) 15-20%
    -Creep
    -Shrinkage
    -Relaxation
    Loss due to elastic shortening
    Loss due to Anchorage
    Loss due to Friction
    Loss Due to Creep

    Advatages

    Long span structure are possible.


    Dead load get counter balanced by pre-
    stressing.
    It has high ability to resist the impact.
    It ha high fatigue resistance.
    It has high live load carring capacity.
    Member are free from the tensile stresses.
    Disadvantages
    Required skilled builders and experienced
    engineers.
    High cost.
    Required complicated formwork.
    Its requires high strength concrete and steel.
    Less fire resistent.
    Application of prestressed concrete

    Bridge, long span structures.


    Building, post tensioned flat slab, stadium.
    Tunnel, large scale piping, long pile.
    Repairing and strengthening structure.
