2. DIFFERENTIATE BONDED TENDON KEEPS CONCRETE SECTIONS INTACT

FROM UNBONDED TENDON UNDER NORMAL USE, PREVENTING

 WHEN THERE IS ADEQUATE BOND CRACKS AND INCREASING

BETWEEN THE PRESTRESSING DURABILITY. THIS IS CRUCIAL FOR

TENDON AND CONCRETE, IT IS LARGE STRUCTURES THAT FACE

CALLED A BONDED TENDON. WHEN REPEATED LOADS, AS IT REDUCES

THERE IS NO BOND BETWEEN THE THE RISK OF FATIGUE-RELATED

PRESTRESSING TENDON AND DAMAGE. SECONDLY, PRESTRESSING

CONCRETE, IT IS CALLED ALLOWS FOR DESIGNS WITH LONGER

UNBONDED TENDON. SPANS, LIKE BRIDGES OR WIDE-OPEN

BUILDINGS, COMPARED TO REGULAR

3. DISCUSS THE DIFFERENT STAGES OF CONCRETE. THIS MEANS BUILDINGS

LOADING AND THEIR SUB-STAGES CAN HAVE MORE SPACE WITHOUT

THE ANALYSIS OF PRESTRESSED NEEDING EXTRA SUPPORT COLUMNS.

MEMBERS VARIES AT DIFFERENT LASTLY, PRESTRESSING WORKS

LOADING STAGES. INITIALLY, THERE WELL WITH PRECAST

ARE TWO SUB-STAGES: TENSIONING OF CONSTRUCTION METHODS, MAKING

STEEL AND TRANSFER OF PRESTRESS BUILDING PROCESSES FASTER AND

TO CONCRETE MORE EFFICIENT OVERALL.
5. SHOW SOME TYPICAL EXAMPLES OF 8. HOW IS ELECTRICAL PRESTRESSING
PRECAST MEMBERS IN PRESTRESSED DONE?
CONCRETE.  STEEL WIRES ARE HEATED USING
ELECTRICITY AND THEN SECURED IN
PLACE BEFORE POURING CONCRETE
INTO MOLDS. THIS METHOD
CREATES INTERNAL TENSION IN THE
WIRES, STRENGTHENING THE
CONCRETE STRUCTURE ONCE IT
SETS

9. HOW IS CHEMICAL PRESTRESSING

DONE?
A PROCESS, IN WHICH EXPANSION
6. ENUMERATE THE CLASSIFICATION ON OF CONCRETE WITH SPECIAL

PRESTRESSING THE CONCRETE
 PRE-TENSIONING OR POST-
TENSIONING 10. WHAT IS ANOTHER TERM FOR
