    The document defines and distinguishes between different types of prestressing including uniaxial, biaxial, and triaxial prestressing. It describes the difference between concentric and eccentric prestressing, which relates to the location of the tendon centroid relative to the concrete section centroid. Partial prestressing is defined as allowing some tension and cracking under service loads while ensuring ultimate strength, compared to full prestressing which eliminates internal tensile stresses. Non-distortional prestressing balances prestressing and self-weight moments such that the member is only subjected to externally applied loads and forces. Debonding prevents bond formation between tendons and concrete, leaving the tendons in an unbonded condition.

    1.

    Distinguish between the terms

    a. Uniaxial Prestressing
    When the prestressing tendons are parallel to one axis, it is called Uniaxial
    Prestressing. For example, longitudinal prestressing of beams.
    b. Biaxial Prestressing
    When there are prestressing tendons parallel to two axes, it is called Biaxial
    Prestressing.
    c. Triaxial Prestressing
    When the prestressing tendons are parallel to more than two axes, it is called
    Multiaxial Prestressing. For example, prestressing of domes.

    2. Bring out the difference between concentric and eccentric prestressing

    The concentric or axial prestressing members in which the entire cross section of
    concrete has a uniform compressive prestress. In this type the centroid of the tendon
    coincides with that of the concrete section. Where as in eccentric prestressing is a
    section at which the tendons are eccentric to the centroid, resulting in a triangular or
    trapezoidal compressive stress distribution.

    3. Difference between prestressing and partial prestressing

    Prestressing is the imposition of internal stresses into a structure in opposite action of


    stresses caused by service or working loads. So, in concrete structures, prestressing
    provides a pre-compressive axial force to eliminate or greatly reduce internal tensile
    stresses along service time of structure. On the other hand, partial prestressing allows
    some tension and cracking under full service load while ensuring sufficient ultimate
    strength. Therefore, it is used to control camber and deflection, increase ductility and
    save costs.

    4. What is non-distortional prestressing?

    Concrete members deflect due to their own self weight. If prestressing force is applied in
    such a way that these deflections are eliminated due to the action of the prestressing
    force, it is called as non-distortional prestressing. In such a case, prestressing moments
    and self-weight moments balance each other and the concrete member is subjected to an
    axial force and bending moments due to externally applied loads only.
    5. What is debonding?

    It is the process of preventing the bond formation between the tendons and concrete so
    that tendons remain in an unbonded condition.
