An Overview of Prestressed Concrete
Keywords:
Concrete, R.C.C.Abstract
Nowadays prestressed concrete are a widely adopted solution for buildings and bridges, because of their economic and functional advantage. in addition they simplify and speed up site operations, allow easy and flexural partition of space and reduce the overall height of buildings and bridges.strenght of concrete in tension is very low and hence we ignore it in R.C.C.Thus R.C.C. design is developed assuming that concrete can resist only compressive force .so steel is provided to take entire tensile force. The principal of prestressed concrete is to introduce calculated compressive stress in the zone wherever tensile stresses are expected when the concrete element is put to use.
