Which outcome is enabled by *hoop stress* in a pre-stressed concrete column?

💡 Explanation

Increased axial load strength arises due to the *hoop stress* created by pre-stressing which strengthens the column internally, because this compressive force offsets the tensile stresses from applied axial load. Therefore maximizing axial capacity, rather than shear, thermal stability or creep.
