Prestress Drop given Pressure after Immediate Loss evaluator uses Drop in Prestress = (Prestressing Force after Loss/Pre-Tensioned Area of Concrete)*Modular Ratio for Elastic Shortening to evaluate the Drop in Prestress, The Prestress Drop given Pressure after Immediate Loss is defined as the reduced value of prestressing force after elastic shortening, anchorage slip and loss due to friction. Drop in Prestress is denoted by ΔfDrop symbol.
