Such an imposed longitudinal force is called prestressing force , a compressive force that prestresses the sections along the span of the structural element prior to the application of the transverse gravity dead and live loads. This force prevents the cracks by eliminating or considerably reducing tensile stresses at critical sections thus raising the capacities. In order to reduce or prevent such cracks from developing, a concentric or eccentric force is applied in the longitudinal direction of the structural element.
