Basic Consepts of Pre-stressing:

Prestressed concrete is basically concrete in which internal stresses of a suitable magnitude and distribution are
introduced so that the stresses resulting from external loads are counteracted to a desired degree. In reinforced
concrete members, the pre-stress is commonly introduced by tensioning the steel reinforcement.

How PT Works:

P-T v/s R.C.C.~ A Cost Benefit Ratio:

P-T reduces the concrete volume by 10 to 20%
Cost of reinforcing is typically 20 to 30% less as compared to conventional reinforced structure.
Formwork can be stripped off after 6-7 days (as soon as stressing is completed), thereby saving time &
money by achieving project target completion before the due date.
Average bay (Column) spacing is 25 to 30 feet without increase in the slab thickness, thus saving
construction cost.
Concrete Slabs are thinner and consequently lighter and less costly.
More clear Headroom obtained through P-T Assembly Installation. Cost Benefit in Electrical Conduits (per
ft.) & relative consumption of accessories, fixtures, thereby enhancing uninterrupted electrical work.
For flat slab in 8m x 8m or 9m x 9m Grid, P-T costs approximately Rs. 40 to 50 per sq. ft. with any kind of
desired geometry availed better than R.C.C.
Since the reinforcement is protected, P-T reinforced structures have lower annual maintenance costs over
time (life cycle costs)
PRESTRESSED CONCRETE NOT ONLY SAVES MONEY, BUT ALSO RESULTS IN A BETTER OVERALL
PERFORMANCE AS P-T REINFORCED STRUCTUTES HAVE HIGHER DURABILITY AND LOWER
MAINTENANCE COSTS.

Lighter and Slender members are possible.

Section remains un-cracked under Service load.
Less deformation improves serviceability.
Fast construction can achieved because scaffolding can be removed after stressing.
More aesthetic appeal due to slender sections.
Flat soffit reduces shuttering, plastering and painting cost.
Reduces building height.

8. Internal column layout flexibility.
