Answer» Right choice is (b) prestressed concrete Easiest explanation: Prestressed concrete is a form of concrete used in construction which is “pre-stressed” by being placed under compression prior to supporting any loads beyond its own dead weight. This compression is produced by the tensioning of high-strength “tendons” located within or adjacent to the concrete volume and is done to improve the performance of the concrete in service. |
