Explain the term - Prestressing Force

Due to the stretching of  tendons, tensile stresses develop inside tendons. Resultant prestressing force in tendons may be calculated by multiplying these tensile stresses to the cross-sectional area of  tendons. When this tensile prestressing force of  tendons is transferred to concrete, it produces equal compression in concrete.
