RemoTension
Prestressed concrete is distinguished from common reinforced concrete by systematic pretensioning of the steel reinforcement. This allows for concrete structures with higher load-bearing capacity and larger spans in comparison to normal, non-tensioned reinforcement steel. Prestressed concrete is used, for example, in bridge construction, in container construction, in building construction for hollow core slabs or precast prestressed floor units. The correct pre-tensioning is relevant to safety and absolutely necessary for achieving the load capacity of the respective concrete element as...
