7 Ιαν 2017 · This document discusses prestressed concrete and provides details on: - The definition and principle of prestressing concrete by applying compression prior to external loads - Common prestressing methods like hydraulic, mechanical, electrical, and chemical prestressing - Tests conducted on prestressed concrete components like post-tensioned ...
Prestressing concrete increases its load capacity, reduces member size, and prevents cracking compared to reinforced concrete. Common applications include bridges, buildings, water tanks, and nuclear power plants.
Definition: “Pre-stressed concrete is a form of reinforced concrete that builds in compressive stresses during construction to oppose those found when in use.” In other words it is a combination of steel and concrete that takes advantages of the strengths of each material.
This document provides an overview of prestressed concrete structures. It begins with an introduction to prestressing, including its definition and historical context. It then discusses prestressing methods, including pre-tensioning and post-tensioning.
The sustained prestress in the concrete of a prestressed member results in creep of concrete which effectively reduces the stress in high-tensile steel. The loss of stress in steel due to creep of concrete can be estimated if the magnitude of ultimate creep strain or creep coefficient is known.
