Prestressed Concrete 101
Pretensioned concrete is when the high strength steel tendons are stressed (pulled or stretched) before the concrete is cast. Part (a) in the diagram below shows an initial casting bed setup. It has two end abutments that anchor the prestressing steel cable that is pulled the entire length of the bed. Part (b) shows the casting bed after the ...

What is Prestressed Concrete? How Does It Work?
Pre-stressed concrete is a form of concrete where initial compression is given in the concrete before applying the external load so that stress from external loads is counteracted in the desired way during the service period. This initial compression is introduced by high-strength steel wire or alloys (called 'tendons') located in the ...
