Page 1 PRESTRESSED CONCRETE ? Prestressed concrete is basically a concrete in which internal stress of suitable magnitude and distribution are introduced so that the stresses resulting from external load are counteracted to a desired degree. ? A prestressed concrete is different from a conventional RCC structure due to the application of an initial load on the structure prior to its use. A. LOSSES IN PRESTRESS Pre-tensioning Post-tensioning 1. Elastic deformation of concrete 1. No loss due to elastic shortening when all bars are simultaneously tensioned. If however, wires are successively tensioned there would be loss of prestress due to elastic deformation of concrete 2. Relaxation of stress in steel 2. Relaxation of stress in steel 3.

The friction generated at the interface of concrete and steel during the stretching of a curved tendon in a post-tensioned member, leads to a drop in the prestress along the member from the stretching end. ? The loss due to friction does not occur in pre-tensioned members because there is no concrete during the stretching of the tendons. ?
