Prestressed concrete construction is a technique used to enhance the strength and performance of concrete structures. This method involves the application of a pre-compression force to the concrete before it is subjected to external loads. The primary goal of prestressing is to counteract tensile stresses that occur when loads are applied, thus improving the structural performance and durability of the concrete.
