For pretensioned concrete, high-steength steel strands are stretched and temporarily anchored before casting the concrete. Figure 10.1 shows the operation schematically, When the concrote is sufficiently hart ned, the strands are cut. The initial tension in the sMretchod strands transfers into the end regions of the "uweaber and induces stresses. Ifthe strand foree nets ec centrieally to the center of gravity of the section, which is the usual ease, It induces additional stiesses to coun texact stresses due to both axial compression and bend ing.

Changes in Prestress Force with Time One complicating factor associated with prestrasand fonerete is that the force in the non changes with time. The change is mostly in the di rection of diminishing force, but the application of e temal losds may cause tensile strains in the tendons that increase the force slightly. Losses occur at fast ‘ate initially but gradually diminish to achieve a stead state after several years. ‘The strethat remains at the oad toi aed he ARSENE is convenient to describe the chauges for pretensined and post-tensioned members separately, ‘A.
