The document discusses pre-stressed concrete, which is concrete that has been stressed to a limit so that when forces act on it, there is no tension on the concrete. Pre-stressed concrete structures are tensioned using high tensile steel cables or rods before concrete is poured. It can be used to construct high rise buildings, parking structures, and for repairs, and offers benefits like lower construction costs and faster assembly times compared to regular concrete.
