What is Prestressed Concrete ?
• Concrete in which reinforcing steel bars are
stretched and anchored to compress it and thus
increase its resistance to stress.

Main difference Between
REINFORCED CONCRETE
&
PRE-STRESSED CONCRETE
• Both utilizes the structural capabilities of steel and
concrete. Concrete is very strong in compression,
but relatively weak in tension.

Ordinary Reinforced Concrete
• Beam supports a load by
developing compressive
stresses at the top, but
since the concrete cannot
resist the tension at the
bottom, it cracks there.
• Reinforcing steel bars are
placed within this tension
zone to resist the tension
and control the cracking.

Pre-stressed Concrete
• It involves the application of forces tending to
bend and compress a concrete element in order
to counteract bending which results from
loading.
• The forced applied is the tensioning or
stretching of the steel component which usually
in the form of high tensile strands, wires or bars.

Pre-Tension & Post-Tension
• These two differ in the method of stressing the
elements. A description of the construction
sequences will help bring out this difference.

Pretension - Pre-stressed Concrete
• The beams or elements are constructed on a stressing bed and stranded cable is placed between two buttresses anchored to a stressing bed which holds the force in the stretched cables.
• After stretching the steel with hydraulic jacks, concrete is placed in forms around the cables and allowed to harden. When the concrete reaches sufficient strength, the pre-stress forced is transferred to the concrete by bond when the steel strand at the ends of the beam is cut loose from buttresses.

Post-tensioned Pre-stressed concrete
• Post tensioning is a technique for reinforcing
concrete.
• Steel cables inside plastic ducts or sleeves,
are positioned in the forms before the
concrete is placed. Afterwards, once the
concrete has gained strength, the cables are
pulled tight and anchored against the outer
edges of the concrete.

Pre-tensioned pre-stressed concrete is usually fabricated away from the job site in a pre-stressing plant, whereas in post-tensioned pre-stressed concrete the application of stressing forces to the structure is done at the job-site.

Tensioning Devices
1.Mechanical devices: The mechanical devices generally used include weights with or without lever transmission, geared transmission in conjunction with pulley blocks, screw jacks with or without gear devices and wire-winding machines. These devices are employed mainly for prestressing structural concrete components produced on a mass scale in factory.
2.Hydraulic devices: These are simplest means for producing large prestressing force, extensively used as tensioning devices.

3.Electrical devices: The wires are electrically
heated and anchored before placing concrete in
the mould. This method is often referred to as
thermo-prestressing and used for tensioning of
steel wires and deformed bars.
4.Chemical devices: Expanding cements are
used and the degree of expansion is controlled
by varying the curing condition. Since the
expansive action of cement

Advantages of Prestressed Concrete
Lower construction cost
Thinner slabs, which are especially important inhigh-rise buildings where floor thickness savingscan translate into additional floors for the same orlower cost
Fewer joints since the distance that can be spannedby
post-tensioned slabs exceeds that of reinforced construction with the same thickness
Longer span lengths increase the usable unencumbered floorspace in buildings and parking structures
Fewer joints lead to lower maintenance costs over the design life of the structure, since joints are the

Disadvantages of Prestressed Concrete
• The major problem with prestressed concrete is that itneeds specialised construction machineries like jacksanchorage etc.
• Advanced technical knowledge and strict supervision is very important.
• For concrete prestressing, high tensile reinforcement bars are needed which costs greater than generally used mild steel reinforcement bars.
• Highly skilled labor is needed for prestressed concrete constructions.
