PRESTRESSED FLOORING

Prestressed Concrete Flooring Vs Precast Concrete Flooring

The main difference between Prestressed Concrete Flooring and Precast Concrete Flooring, is that, the steel rods which make up the reinforcing grid are under tension, and just at the right moment when the concrete is at critical point of setting, the tension is released. The result is that the steel rods try to contract to their normal state of tension thus increasing the overall strength of the concrete slab.
