This concrete is used in large-span distance between which is not possible through the standard RCC construction.

Prestressed concrete is widely used for residential and commercial products on the interior and exterior of building construction.

Prestressed concrete is used in bridges to increase the bridge’s possible span and make the structure more durable under moving traffic conditions.

Prestressed concrete also reduces the overall weight of the structure.

With the use of PSC reduction in structural members like slab and beam elements.

Freezing and thawing action is durable than conventional concrete.

Prestressed concrete reduces the formation of cracks. It is more durable than RCC construction because it does not crack under loading conditions. The tensile stress portion is counteracted by reducing the cross-sectional area of the reinforcing steel. Prestressed concrete producing permanent compression in the areas subjected to the tension. Hence, such beams having no tensile strength and no bending moment until squeezed or prestressed together.įlexural concrete members can be prestressed, so their entire cross-sections are kept in compression, so these entire sections are available to resist the applied forces.
