NOTE: MOMENT DIAGRAM CONVENTION
• In PT design, it is preferable to draw moment diagrams to the tensile face of the concrete section. The tensile face indicates what portion of the beam requires reinforcing for strength.
• When moment is drawn on the tension side, the diagram matches the general drape of the tendons. The tendons change their vertical location in the beam to follow the tensile moment diagram. Strands are at the top of the beam over the support and near the bottom at mid span.
• For convenience, the following slides contain moment diagrams drawn on both the tensile and compressive face, denoted by (T) and (C), in the lower left hand corner. Please delete the slides to suit the presenter's convention.

REVIEW OF REINFORCED CONCRETE
Reinforcement is PASSIVE
Steel crosses cracks, but does not prevent them

QUESTION TO PONDERSuppose a R/C beam has too much cracking and too much deflection. How might you propose to fix it? (i.e. not replace it)
Tension (bending) + Compression (“squeezing”) =
Net Zero Stress“Sqeezed” Before Loading (Pre-compressed):
Pre-Compression (“prestressing”) + Tension (bending) =
Net Zero Stress

HOW TO BUILD IT?
Prestressing: Concrete pre‐compressed before loading in bending (flexural tension)
1. Pre-Tensioning: Steel tensioned beforeconcrete is placed
2. Post-Tensioning: Steel tensioned afterconcrete is hardened
Prestressing is ACTIVE – can prevent cracks from forming

PRE‐TENSIONING
1. Tension Strands
2. Cast Concrete – Bond strands to concrete
3. Cut Strands – Transfer force to concrete

POST‐TENSIONING
1. Cast Concrete with Duct
2. Feed Strands through Duct
3. Tension Strands
4. Grout Duct (or other corrosion protection)

POST‐TENSIONING• Post-tensioning can take on any profile
• Draped configurations are much more common than straight tendons• Why?

Strain Compatibility and Force Equilibrium:
Steel held at length longer than it “wants” to be: Tension
Concrete compressed shorter than it “wants” to be: Compression

Pre‐Tensioned elements are often precast in a factory and shipped to the site
Post‐Tensioned elements can be cast and tensioned in the final location (cast‐in‐place). They can also be precast.

ECCENTRIC PRESTRESSINGEccentricity in prestressing:
- Desirable at midspan- Not productive, even detrimental, at end of span
Strategies for pre-tensioned systems:- Draped / harped profiles
Temporarily held in place before concrete is hardened
- DebondingNot all strands are active at end of span
Strategies for post-tensioned systems:- Install ducts in desired profile

SUMMARY: PRESTRESSED CONCRETE
Efficient use of materials – concrete maintained in compression, crack control
Smaller deflections/thinner members Longer spans Corrosion resistance Less material; reduced environmental impact
