ASSIGNMENT NO.1
Prestressed concrete deisgn has been patented since 1886 but was accepted as a building material
until half a century later.
Eugène Freyssinet devoted himself to the development of prestressed reinforeced concrete. His
most significant discovery was that only a high-strength steel at a high stress would achieve a
permanent pre-stress in concrete.
It is a form of RCC that builds in compressive stresses during construction to oppose those found
when in use is termed as prestressed concrete. Prestressed concrete is a combination of concrete
and steel that takes advantages of the strength of each material.
APPLICATION OF PRESTRESSED CONCRETE

With the use of PSC reduction in structural members like slab and beam element.
 Prestressed concrete also reduces the overall weight of the structure.
 Prestressed concrete is used in bridges to increase the possible span of the bridge and to
make the structure more durable under moving traffic condition.
Prestressed concrete is widely used for residential and commercial products on the interior and
exterior of building construction.
This concrete is used in large span distance between which are not possible through the normal
RCC construction.
PRESTRESSED CONCRETE STRUCTURES AROUND THE WORLD

The first prestressed concrete bridge is the The first prestressed reinforced concrete
Walnut Lane Memorial Bridge was built in bridge built in Canada is the Mosquito
North America was built in Philadelphia in Creek Bridge in Vancouver . It was built
1950. The bridge is shown In figure 1. The in 1952. The bridge is shown in figure 2.
main span of the bridge is 49m.
Prestressed concrete design is the used when building bridges because it allows bridges with bigger
spans to be built and for floors in high-rise buildings. It is used when building slabs, beams, decks,
sleepers and tanks.
 Example of bridges where prestressed concrete is used can be seen in figure 4,5,6,7.
 Example of prestressed reinforced concrete used in buildings, tanks, sleepers can be seen
in figure 8,9,10,11.
