Prestress Drop given Pressure after Immediate Loss Formula Elements

Variables
Drop in Prestress
Drop in Prestress is the drop in applied prestress force due to strain in tendons.
Symbol: ΔfDrop
Measurement: PressureUnit: MPa
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Prestressing Force after Loss
Prestressing Force after Loss is the prestressing force after immediate losses. It is the reduced value of prestressing force after elastic shortening, anchorage slip and loss due to friction.
Symbol: Po
Measurement: ForceUnit: kN
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Pre-Tensioned Area of Concrete
Pre-Tensioned Area of Concrete is a construction method where steel tendons are stressed before pouring concrete, enhancing structural strength.
Symbol: APre tension
Measurement: AreaUnit: mm²
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Modular Ratio for Elastic Shortening
Modular Ratio for Elastic Shortening is the ratio of the elastic modulus of a particular material in a cross-section to the elastic modulus of the “base” or the reference material.
Symbol: mElastic
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
