Prestress Drop given Strain due to Bending and Compression in Two Parabolic Tendons evaluator uses Prestress Drop = Modulus of Elasticity of Steel Reinforcement*(Strain due to Compression+Strain due to Bending) to evaluate the Prestress Drop, The Prestress Drop given Strain due to Bending and Compression in Two Parabolic Tendons is defined as the equation for finding the loss of prestress in a section when two tendons, say A and B, are used. The loss in A is given above when tendon B is tensioned. Prestress Drop is denoted by Δfp symbol.
