← TechnologyWhich mechanism counteracts bending moments via embedded tendons?
A)Concrete prestressing resists tensile stresses✓
B)Reduced concrete creep overtime occurs
C)Increased thermal expansion develops faster
D)Bond slippage increases during loading
💡 Explanation
Concrete prestressing utilizes the principle of applying compressive stress to the concrete section before external loads, because this compressive force from the prestressed tendons counteracts tensile stresses due to bending; therefore, tensile cracking is delayed rather than concrete relying on its limited tensile strength.
