About this document
Understanding Prestressed Concrete Design by Edzel Renomeron is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Prestressing is the application of initial compressive stresses to a concrete structure before service loads are applied. This counters the tensile stresses induced by external loads. Prestressed concrete uses steel tendons (wires, strands, or bars) that are tensioned either before or after the concrete is cast to introduce these compressive stresses. Pre-tensioning involves tensioning the steel tendons before the concrete is placed, while post-tensioning tensions the steel against hardened concrete. The do
