Study of the flexural strengthening of RC concrete and prestressed concrete beams

Concrete is strong in compression, but weak in tension its tensile strength. Due to such a low tensile capacity, flexural cracks develop at early stages of loading. In order to reduce or prevent such cracks from developing, a concentric or eccentric force is imposed in the longitudinal direction of the structural element. According to that, we studied RC concrete and prestressed concrete in flexural strengthening and analyzed the review of displacement of RC & prestressed concrete beams. The idea is to reach a definite conclusion, the prestressed concrete beams more effective as compared to reinforcement concrete beams in flexural strengthening. Software programming is a general purpose structural analysis and design program with applications primarily in the building industry - commercial buildings, bridges and highway structures, industrial structures, chemical plant structures, dams, retaining walls, turbine foundations, culverts and other embedded structures, etc.There is a very good understand all aspect of prestressed concrete beam better than as compared to reinforced concrete beam in flexural strengthening. The aim of this research is to compare the economics, durability and structural analysis of the reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete beams.
