Strain in Prestress Steel = Strain in Concrete+Strain Difference
ε_p = ε_c+Δε_p

What is Strain difference?

The strain difference (∆εp) is the strain in the prestressed tendons when the concrete
has zero strain (εc = 0). This occurs when the strain due to the external tensile axial
load balances the compressive strain due to prestress.

How to Calculate Strain in Prestressed Tendons?

Strain in Prestressed Tendons calculator uses Strain in Prestress Steel = Strain in Concrete+Strain Difference to calculate the Strain in Prestress Steel, The Strain in Prestressed Tendons is defined as the ratio of change in quantity considered to original quantity. The above equation is considered for prestressing tendons. For conventional steel strain in concrete is same as that of steel. Strain in Prestress Steel is denoted by ε_p symbol.

How to calculate Strain in Prestressed Tendons using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Strain in Prestressed Tendons, enter Strain in Concrete (ε_c) & Strain Difference (Δε_p) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Strain in Prestressed Tendons calculation can be explained with given input values -> 1.71 = 1.69+0.02.
