Introduction
• Basic Concept
What is prestressing?
Prestressing is the application of an initial load on a
structure, to enable it to counteract the stresses arising
from subsequent loads during its service period.
• Examples of Prestressing Before Development of
Prepressed concrete
Force-fitting of metal bands on wooden barrels.
It includes a state of initial hoop compression, to
counteract the hoop tension caused by filling of liquid
in the barrels.
Pre-tensioning the spokes in a bicycle wheel
The pre-tension is to such an extent that there will
always be a residual tension in the spoke.
• Prestressed Concrete
Concrete in which effective internal stresses are induced
(usually, by means of tensioned steel) before the
structure is loaded, to counteract the stresses resulting
from the applied service loads.
Why we need prestresing for concrete?
Concrete’s tensile strength is only 8-14% of its
compressive strength.
Crack develop at early stages of loading in flexural
members (beams, slabs)
To prevent such crack, compressive forces can be
suitably applied in the longitudinal direction, either
concentrically or eccentrically ( linear
prestressing)
Prestressing enhances the bending, shear and
torsional capacities of the flexural members.
In cylindrical tanks, the hoop tensile stresses can be
effectively counteracted by circular prestressing.

Definitions
Form of Prestressing steel
Wires: Prestressing wire is a single unit made of
steel
Strands: Two, three or seven wires are wound to form a
prestressing strand.
Tendon: A group of strands or wires are wound to form
a prestressing tendon
• Cable: A group of tendons form a prestressing cable
• Bars: A tendon can be made up of a single steel bar.
The diameter of a bar is much larger than that of a
wire.
Nature of Concrete –Steel interface
Bonded Tendon: When there is adequate bond between
the prestressing tendon and concrete, it is called a
bonded tendon. Pre-tensioning and grouted post-
tensioned tendons are bonded tendon.
Unbonded Tendon: When there is no bond between the
prestressing tendon and concrete, it is called unbonded
tendon. When grout is not applied after post-tensioning,
the tendon is an unbonded tendon.
Stages of Loading
The analysis of prestressed members can be different for
the different stages of loading. The stages of loading are
as follows.
1) Initial: It can be subdivided into two stages.
a) During tensioning of steel
b) At transfer of prestress to concrete
2) Intermediate: This includes the loads during
transportation of the prestressed members.
3) Final: It can be subdivided into two stages.
a) At service, during operation
b) At ultimate, during extreme events.
Advantages of Prestressing
1) Section remains uncracked under service loads
Reduction of steel corrosion
Increase in durability
Full section is utilised
Higher moment of inertia (higher stiffness)
Less deformations (improved serviceability)
Increase in shear capacity.
Suitable for use in pressure vessels, liquid retaining
structures.
Improved performance (resilience) under dynamic
and fatigue loading.
2) High span-to-depth ratios
Larger spans possible with prestressing
( Bridges, buildings with large column-free spans)
Typical values of span-to-depth ratios in slabs are given below.
Non-prestressed slab 28:1
Prestressed slab 45:1.
For the same span, less depth compared to RC member.
Reduction in self weight
More aesthetic appeal due to slender sections
More economical sections.
3) Suitable for precast construction
The advantages of precast construction are as follows
Rapid construction
Better quality control
Reduced maintenance
Suitable for repetitive construction
Multiple use of formwork
Reduction of formwork
Availability of standard shapes
Hollow Core
Precast Girder
Precast Concrete Pile
Limitations of Prestressing
Although prestressing has advantages, some aspects
need to be carefully addressed
Skilled technology (hence, not as common as
reinforced concrete)
Use of high strength materials is costly.
There is additional cost in auxiliary equipments.
Need for quality control and inspection.

Types of Prestressing
1. Source of prestressing force
This classification is based on the method by which the
prestressing force is generated. There are four sources
of prestressing system: Mechanical, hydraulic, electrical
and chemical.
Types of Prestressing
2. External or internal prestressing
This classification is based on the location of the
prestressing tendon with respect to the concrete section.
Types of Prestressing
3. Pre-tensioning or post-tensioning
This is the most important classification and is based on
the sequence of the casting the concrete and applying
tension to the tendons.
4. Linear or circular prestressing
This classification is based on the shape of the member
prestressed.
Types of Prestressing
5. Full, limited or partial prestressing
Based on the amount of prestressing force, three types
of prestressing are defined.
6. Uniaxial, biaxial or multi-axial prestressing
As the names suggest, the classification is based on the
direction of prestressing a member.
The individual types of prestressing are explained next.
Source of Prestressing Force
Hydraulic Prestressing
This is the simplest type of prestressing, producing large
prestressing forces. The hydraulic jack used for the
tensioning of tendons, comprises of calibrated pressure
gauges which directly indicate the magnitude of force
developed during the tensioning.
Source of Prestressing Force
Mechanical Prestressing
In this type of prestressing, the devices includes weights
with or without lever transmission, geared transmission
in conjunction with pulley blocks, screw jacks with or
without gear drivers and wire-winding machines. This
type of prestressing is adopted for mass scale
production.
Source of Prestressing Force
Electrical Prestressing
In this type of prestressing, the steel wires are
electrically heated and anchored before placing concrete
in the moulds. This type of prestressing is also known as
thermo-electric prestressing.
Source of Prestressing Force
Chemical Prestressing
In this type of prestressing, expansive cements are used
and the degree of expansion is controlled by varying the
curing conditions. The expansive action of cement is
restrained while setting. This generates tensile forces in
the tendons and compressive stresses in concrete.
External or internal Prestressing
External Prestressing
When the prestressing is achieved by elements located
outside the concrete member( for example, by cables
laying outside a beam), it is called external prestressing.
This technique is adopted in repaire and strengthening
works, such as retrofitting of bridges.
External or internal Prestressing
Internal Prestressing
When the prestressing is achieved by elements located
inside the concrete member( commonly, by embedded
tendons), it is called internal prestressing. Most of the
applications of prestressig are internal prestressing.
Pre-tensioning or Post-tensioning
Pre-tensioning
The tension is applied to the tendons before casting of
the concrete. The pre-compression is transmitted from
steel to concrete through bond over the transmission
length near the ends.
Post-tensioning
The tension is applied to the tendons (located in a duct)
after hardening of the concrete. The pre-compression is
transmitted from steel to concrete by the anchorage
device (at the end blocks).
Linear or Circular Prestressing
Linear Prestressing
When the prestressed members are straight or flat, in
the direction of prestressing, the prestressing is called
linear prestressing. For example, prestressing of
beams, piles, poles and slabs. The prestressing cable
profile may be curved.
Circular Pre-tensioning
When the prestressed members are curved, in the
direction of prestressing, the prestressing is called
circular prestressing. For example, circumferential
prestressing of tanks, silos, pipes and similar structure.
Full, Limited or Partial Prestressing
Full Prestressing
When the level of prestressing is such that no tensile
stress is allowed in concrete under service loads, it is
called Full Prestressing( Type1, as per IS:1343-1980)
Full, Limited or Partial Prestressing
Limited Prestressing
When the level of prestressing is such that the tensile
stress under service loads is within the cracking
stress of concrete, it is called Limited Prestressing
( Type 2, as per IS:1343-1980)
Full, Limited or Partial Prestressing
Partial Prestressing
When the level of prestressing is such that under tensile
stresses due to service loads, the crack width is within
the allowable, it is called Partial Prestressing
( Type 3, as per IS:1343-1980)
Uniaxial, Biaxial or Multiaxial Prestressing
Uniaxial Prestressing
When the prestressing cables are parallel to one axis, it
is called Uniaxial Prestressing. For example,
longitudinal prestressing of beams.
Uniaxial, Biaxial or Multiaxial Prestressing
Biaxial Prestressing
When there are prestressing cables parallel to two axes,
it is called Biaxial Prestressing. For example, biaxial
prestressing of slabs.
Uniaxial, Biaxial or Multiaxial Prestressing
Multiaxial Prestressing
When the prestressing cables are parallel to more than
two axes, it is called Multiaxial Prestressing. For
example, prestressing of domes.
