Why prestressed better than normal rcc?

Question

Accepted Answer

Prestressed concrete is better than normal RCC due to its higher strength, durability, and reduced cracking.

Prestressed concrete has higher strength and load-carrying capacity compared to normal reinforced concrete.
It offers improved durability and resistance to environmental factors such as corrosion.
Prestressed concrete reduces cracking and deflection under load, enhancing structural integrity.
It allows for longer spans and thinner sections, resulting in cost savings and increased design flexibility.
Examples of prestressed concrete applications include bridges, high-rise buildings, and parking structures.

Accepted Answer

Good stability more strength less section of structures
