    The document discusses prestressed concrete, which is concrete that has been placed under compression prior to use. It begins by defining prestressed concrete as concrete with stress incorporated before the application of load. Next, it covers the theory behind prestressed concrete and requirements like high compressive strength concrete and high-yield strength cables. It distinguishes between pre-tensioned concrete, where cables are tensioned before the concrete is poured, and post-tensioned concrete, where cables are tensioned after the concrete sets. Finally, it lists and explains common losses in prestress, such as elastic deformation, shrinkage, creep, relaxation, friction, and anchorage slippage losses.

    1. What is Pre-stressed Concrete?
    2. Theory behind pre-stressed concrete.
    3. Requirements for Pre-stresses Concrete.
    4. Difference Between Pre-tensioned and Post-tensioned
    Concrete.
    5. Losses in pre-stressed concrete.
    What is Pre-stressed Concrete?

     This is the type of concrete


    where a certain amount of
    stress is incorporated
    before the application of
    load.
    Requirements for Pre-stresses Concrete.

     High Compressive Strength of Concrete


     High yield strength of cable

     Post Tensioned Concrete (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lae5RzJfx1U)
    Losses in Prestressed Concrete
    Sl.No Losses Pre Tensioned Concrete Post Tensioned Concrete

    1 Elastic Deformation of Yes 1. No loss if all wires are


    Concrete simultaneously
    tensioned
    2. Loss will be there if
    wires are tensioned
    sequentially
    2 Relaxation of stress in steel Yes Yes
    3 Shrinkage of Concrete Yes Yes
    4 Creep of Concrete Yes Yes
    5 Friction Losses Yes
    6 Anchorage Sleep Yes
    Loss due to elastic Deformation of
    Concrete
      
    Loss due to elastic deformation of concrete depends on the modular ratio and
    the average stress in concrete at the level of steel.

     Loss of stress in steel


     = Young's Modulus of Elasticity of Steel
     = Young's Modulus of Elasticity of Concrete
     = Stress in concrete at the level of steel
    Loss Due to Shrinkage
     It will be equal to the product of the modulus of elasticity of prestressing
    steel and the shrinkage strain of concrete
    Loss Due Creep Stress

      It is given by
     Where is creep coefficient
     is stress in concrete
     is modular ratio
    Loss due to relaxation steel
    Loss due to friction
