Prestressed losses in concrete members?

01 January 1970 1 9K Report

Why does the prestressed losses in post-tension concrete members are less than pretension concrete members?

Dear Anand, you focused on the friction losses that occurs in post-tension members only ofcourse. This should make the losses in post-tension greater than pretension prestressed members while in fact it's not!
