DEVELOPMENT OF BUILDING CONCEPT OF LONG LINE
MATERIALS? PRETENSIONING METHOD AND WAS
THIS APPLIED?
11. EXPLAIN THE STATEMENT THAT
PRESTRESSED CONCRETE IS AN ACTIVE
COMBINATION WHILE REINFORCED
CONCRETE IS A PASSIVE COMBINATION.
 IN REINFORCED CONCRETE, STEEL
ONLY HELPS WHEN CONCRETE
STARTS CRACKING, SO IT'S CALLED  IN THIS DRAWING:
"PASSIVE." PRESTRESSED CONCRETE,  THE TENDONS REPRESENT THE
ON THE OTHER HAND IS TOUGH HIGH-STRENGTH STEEL CABLES
FROM THE START. BEFORE POURING, OR WIRES.
STEEL CABLES ARE STRETCHED TO  THE CONCRETE REPRESENTS THE
SQUEEZE THE CONCRETE, PUTTING MATERIAL TO BE CAST.
IT UNDER PRESSUREIT'S CALLED  THE ANCHORS ARE DEVICES USED
"ACTIVE" BECAUSE IT'S REINFORCED TO HOLD THE TENDONS IN PLACE
BEFORE USE. AFTER TENSIONING.
 ONCE THE TENDONS ARE TENSIONED
AND ANCHORED, CONCRETE IS
POURED OVER THEM IN THE
FORMWORK. AS THE CONCRETE
CURES AND GAINS STRENGTH, IT
BONDS WITH THE TENDONS,
RESULTING IN A COMPOSITE
MEMBER THAT IS PRE-COMPRESSED
OR PRESTRESSED.
