Losses in Prestressed concrete
The effective prestress in concrete undergoes a gradual reduction with time from the stage of transfer due to various causes. This is called losses in prestressing. Types of Losses Pre

Prestressing methods
Prestressed concrete is used in a wide range of building and civil structures where its improved performance can allow for longer spans, reduced structural thickness, and materials saving compared with
IS Specifications for prestressed concrete
The code of practice for prestressed concrete is IS:1343-1980. In this post some of the very important specifications which one should keep in mind before going for design of prestressed
Materials used for Prestressed concrete
Prestressed concrete is used in a wide range of building and civil structures where its improved performance can allow for longer spans, reduced structural thickness, and materials saving compared with
Difference between Reinforced concrete and Prestressed concrete
Both the reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete structures employ two materials, that is, concrete and steel. Besides these two materials, there is nothing common between them and their structural behavior
What is Prestressed concrete ?
Prestressed concrete is also a special type of concrete. As we are aware of the fact that concrete is good in compression and weak in tension. We stress the concrete
