Questions and Answers

What is pre-stressed concrete?

  • Reinforced concrete that builds in compressive stresses during construction (correct)
  • Concrete with no initial compression
  • Concrete with external load applied after construction
  • Concrete with only mild reinforcement

    • How is initial compression introduced in pre-stressed concrete?

  • By reducing the concrete curing time
  • By using additional layers of concrete
  • By increasing the concrete density
  • By using high-strength steel wire or alloys in the concrete section (correct)

    • What are the benefits of pre-stressing concrete?

  • Reduction in mild reinforcement (correct)
  • Lower load carrying capacity
  • Increased cracking
  • Shorter spans in single piece
