What is "pre-stressed concrete"?
Pre-stressed concrete is a type of concrete that is specially treated to make it stronger and more durable. Before the concrete is poured, steel tendons or wires are stretched and placed inside the form. Once the concrete hardens, the tendons are released, putting the concrete under compression. This process helps the concrete resist bending and cracking under heavy loads. Pre-stressed concrete is commonly used in building bridges, parking structures, and large buildings where high strength and durability are required.

The team carefully monitored the tensioning of the steel wires in the pre-stressed concrete to ensure proper performance.
Pre-stressed concrete is often used for large spans in bridges because it can carry more weight without bending.
The bridge was built using pre-stressed concrete to ensure it could withstand heavy traffic loads.
The architect recommended pre-stressed concrete for the high-rise building’s foundation to handle the weight of the structure.
