Prestressing of NSM steel strands to enhance the structural performance of prestressed concrete beams by Obaydullah, M., Jumaat, Mohd Zamin, Alengaram, Ubagaram Johnson, Darain, K.M.U., Huda, M.N., Hosen, M.A.

“…Prestressing of strengthening materials can enhance the performance of strengthened structures as the materials become more efficient as a greater portion of their tensile capacity is employed. Prestressed concrete beams are widely used in the construction field, however, there is a lack of studies on the strengthening of these structural elements. …”
