Abstract
Pretensioning, as explained in Sec. 1–4, is the term used for the process of making prestressed concrete in which the prestressed reinforcement is stressed before the concrete is placed. Pretensioned concrete is most commonly made in permanent precasting plants, but, on single construction projects that include a large quantity of pretensioned members, it has been found feasible to construct a pretensioning facility on the job site and amortize it on the one project.
