    There are several types of losses in prestressing: 1. In pre-tensioning, losses include elastic deformation of concrete, relaxation of steel stress, and shrinkage and creep of concrete. 2. In post-tensioning, the same losses occur except for elastic deformation, and additional losses from friction during tensioning and anchorage slip. 3. Elastic deformation loss depends on the modular ratio and average concrete stress. It represents the stress lost in steel due to the concrete's elastic shortening. 4. Shrinkage loss results from the concrete shrinking over time, which shortens the tensioned wires. Higher strength concrete with low water-cement ratio has less shrinkage loss.

    TOPIC: LOSS IN PRESTRESS

    TYPES OF LOSSES IN PRESTRESSING

    - PRE TENSIONING
    1. Elastic Deformation
    2. Relaxation of stress in steel
    3. Shrinkage of concrete
    4. Creep of concrete
    - POST TENSIONING
    1. No loss due to Elastic Deformation
    2. Relaxation of Stress in steel
    3. Shrinkage of concrete
    4. Creep of concrete
    5. Friction
    6. Anchorage Slip

    LOSS DUE TO ELASTIC DEFORMATION OF THE CONCRETE

    - Depend on the Modular Ration and the average stress in concrete.

    f c = Prestress in concrete at the level of steel


    E s = Modulus of elasticity of steel
    E c = Modulus of elasticity of concrete
    α e =Modular ratio
    Strain in concrete at the level of steel/ = fc/ E c
    Stress in steel corresponding to this strain = (fc /E s )E c
    Therefore, Loss of stress in steel = α e f c

    Example 1: (Elastic deformation) A pre-stressed concrete beam, 100 mm wide and 300 mm
    deep, is pre-tensioned by straight, wires carrying an initial force of 150kN at an eccentricity of 50
    mm. The modulus of elasticity of steel and concrete are 210 and 35 kN/mm ^2 respectively.
    Estimate the percentage loss of stress in steel due to elastic deformation of concrete if the area
    of steel wires is 188 mm ^2 .
    Loss due to shrinkage of concrete

    Factors affecting the shrinkage in concrete

    1. The loss due to shrinkage of concrete results in shortening of tensioned wires & hence
    contributes to the loss of stress.
    2. The shrinkage of concrete is influenced by the type of cement, aggregate & the method
    of curing used.
    3. Use of high strength concrete with low water cement ratio results in reduction in
    shrinkage and consequent loss of prestress.
    4. The primary cause of drying shrinkage is the progressive loss of water from concrete.
    5. The rate of shrinkage is higher at the surface of the member.
    6. The differential shrinkage between the interior surfaces of large member may result in
    strain gradients leading to surface cracking.

    ε cs Total residual shrinkage strain = 300x10^-6 (for pre-tensioning)


    200 x 10−6
    = ( for post tensioning)
    log 10(t+ 2)
    Where t = Age of concrete at transfer in days
    Then, the loss of stress = ε cs Es
    Es = Modulus of Elasticity of Steel

    Example 2: (Shrinkage) A concrete beam is pre-stressed by a cable carrying an initial pre-


    stressing force of 300kN. The cross-sectional area of the wires in the cable is 300 mm ^2 .
    Calculate the percentage loss of stress in the cable only due to shrinkage of concrete using IS:
    1343 recommendations assuming the beam to be, (a) pre-tensioned and (b) post-tensioned.
    Assume E = 210 kN/mm 2 s and age of concrete at transfer = 8 days.
    Loss due to creep of concrete

    The sustained prestress in the concrete of a prestress member results in creep of concrete
    which is effectively reduces the stress in high tensile steel. The loss of stress in steel due to
    creep of concrete can be estimated if the magnitude of ultimate creep strain or creep-coefficient
    is known.

    1.Ultimate Creep strain method

    The loss of stress in steel due to creep of concrete = εcc f c E s

    Where,

    εcc = Ultimate creep strain for a sustained unit stress.

    f c = Compressive stress in concrete at the level of steel

    E s = Modulus of elasticity of steel

    2. Creep Coefficient Method

    Creep strain ε c
    Creep coefficient = =
    Elastic Strain ε e

    fc
    Therefore, loss of stress in steel = εc E s = Φ εc E s = Φ E s= Φ fc αe
    Ec

    Where: Φ = Creep Coeficient

    εc = Creep Strain

    εe = Elastic Strain

    αe = Modular Ratio

    fc = Stress in concrete

    Ec = Modulus of Elasticity of Concrete

    Es = Modulus of Elasticity of Steel

    Example 3: (Creep) A concrete beam of rectangular section, 100 mm wide and 300 mm deep,
    is pre-stressed by five wires of 7 mm diameter located at an eccentricity of 50 mm, the initial
    stress in the wires being 1200 N/mm 2 . Estimate the percentage loss of stress in steel due to
    creep of concrete using the ultimate creep strain method and the creep coefficient method (IS:
    1343-1980). Use the following data:

    Ultimate creep strain mm/mm per N/mm 41 x 10^ - 6 mm/mm per N/mm^2
    Creep coefficient = 1.6
