    Sub. code- CE(PE)702A
     Pre-tensioning and post-tensioning are the
    types of pre stressed concrete.

    What is pre stressed 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 of steel and
    concrete. Concrete is very strong 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.
     Reinforce steel bars are placed to 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 elements in
    order to counteract bending which results form
    loading.
     The force applied is the tensioning or stretching
    of the steel components which usually in the
    form of high tensile strands, wires or bars.
     Reinforce concrete

     Pre stressed concrete


    before loading

     Pre stressed concrete


    after loading
    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 force is
    transferred to the concrete by bond when the steel
    strand at the ends of the beam is cut loose form
    buttresses.
    PRE-TENSION CONCRETE BEAM
    POST- TENSION PRE-STRESSED CONCRETE

     Post tensioning is a technique for reinforce


    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.
    PROCESS POST-TENSIONING
    1. Rolls of post-tensioning
    cables

    2. Pulling anchors for post-


    tensioning cables
    3. Positioned post
    tensioning cables

    4. post- tensioning cable


    ends extending form
    freshly poured
    concrete
    5. Hydraulic jack are
    used to pull the cables

    •Pre-tensioned pre-stressed concrete is usually fabricated


    away form the job site in a pre-stressing plant, whereas in
    pos-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 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
    device are employed mainly for pre stressing
    structure components produced on a mass scale
    in factory.
    2. Hydraulic devices: these are simplest means for
    producing large pre stressing force, extensively
    used as tensioning devices.
    3. Electrical devices: the wires are electrical
    heated and anchored before placing concrete in
    the mould. This method is often referred to as
    thermo-pre stressing 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 PRE STRESSED CONCRETE

     Lower construction cost


     Thinner slabs, which are especially important in high-
    rise buildings where floor thickness savings can
    translate into additional floors for the same or lower cost
     Fewer joints since the distance that can be spanned by
    post-tensioned slabs exceeds that of reinforce
    construction with the same thickness
     Longer span lengths increase the usable unencumbered
    floor space in building and parking structures
     Fewer joints lead to lower maintenance costs over the
    design life of the structure, since joints are the major
    locus of weakness in concrete building .
    DISADVANTAGE OF PRE STRESSED CONCRETE

     The major problem with pre stressed concrete is


    that it needs specialised construction machineries
    like jacks anchorage etc.
     Advanced technical knowledge and strict
    supervision is very important.
     For concrete pre stressing, high tensile
    reinforcement bars are needs which costs greater
    than generally used mild steel reinforcement bars.
     Highly skilled labor is needed for pre stressed
    concrete construction.
