PRE-TENSIONING METHOD
( Kaedah tegang Dahulu)
1. The steel is tensioned between abutments
and the concrete is placed in moulds around
it.
2. When the concrete has achieved sufficient
compressive strength, the steel is released
from the abutments
3. Transferring the force to the concrete
through the bond that now exists between
steel and the concrete.
AS A RESULT

Pre-tensioned concrete
Pre-tensioned concrete is cast around already tensioned
tendons.
This method produces a good bond between the tendon
and concrete, which both protects the tendon from corrosion
and allows for direct transfer of tension.
The cured concrete adheres and bonds to the bars and when
the tension is released it is transferred to the concrete as
compression by static friction.
However, it requires stout anchoring points between which
the tendon is to be stretched and the tendons are usually in
a straight line.
Thus, most pretensioned concrete elements are
prefabricated in a factory and must be transported to the
construction site, which limits their size.
Pre-tensioned elements may be balcony elements, lintels ,
floor slabs, beams or foundation piles.
POST TENSION
Reinforcing tendons are stretched by jacks whilst keeping
them inserted in voids left pre-hand during curing of concrete.

POST-TENSIONING METHOD
(Tegang Kemudian)
1. The concrete is cast first in the mould and allowed to harden before
the prestress is applied.
2. The steel may be placed in position to a predetermined profile and
cast into the concrete, bond being prevented by enclosing the steel in
a protective metal sheathing.
3. Or ducts may be formed in the concrete and the steel passed through
after hardening has taken place.
4. When the required strength concrete strength has been achieved, the
steel is stressed against the end of the unit and anchored off, thus
putting the concrete into compression.
5. The curved profile of the steel, which usually occurs in post-
tensioning, permits the effective distribution of prestress within the
section to the designer’s requirment.
