Definition of Terms
Prestressed Concrete
• - concrete in which there have been
introduced internal stresses of such
magnitude and distribution that
stresses resulting from external loads
are counter-acted to a desired degree.

plant site or even at the job site but
not in its final position

anchor tendon during the
hardening of concrete

elements, used to impart prestressed
to concrete.

force exerted by device that
introduces tension into prestressing
tendons.

tendons after all losses have occurred,
excluding effects of dead load and
superimposed load.

tendons are tensioned after concrete has
hardened.

Advantages of Prestressed Concrete over Reinforced
Concrete
Structural Advantage
- Prestressed concrete is more suitable for
structures of long span and those carrying heavy
loads because of the higher strength of materials
employed. Prestressed concrete structures are
more slender and hence more adaptable to
architectural design and they do not crack under
working loads. The deflection is reduced under
dead loads and live loads because of the cambering
effect of prestress.

conventional-‐reinforced-‐concrete/
Advantages of PS Concrete over RC
Durability
- Durability of concrete depends upon the
corrosion of steel which is responsible for
chemical attack thus resulting to
disintegration of concrete. Prestressed
concrete is more durable because of its
lesser amount of steel.

Safety
- Prestressed concrete when properly
designed has the ability to resist shock,
impact loads and repeated working loads.
Prestressed concrete gives also ample
warming before impending collapse
• Source: https://www.designingbuildings.co.uk/wiki/Prestressed_concrete
Economy
- Prestressed concrete is more economical
when heavy load or long spans are
encountered
