Explain term - losses of prestress

We know that with time, tendons lose some of their initial prestress (at the time of transfer of prestress). This is termed as 'losses of prestress'. These losses of prestress are due to many reasons and total losses of prestress are generally different in these types of concrete members. Detailed information about these may be obtained from the unit devoted to losses in prestressed concrete.
