Two methods are used in fabricating prestressed beams. In one method, the concrete is bonded to the stretched steel before the prestress is applied. This is called pretensioning .... In pretensioning the steel is laid through the beam forms and stretched between external abutments. Next, concrete is placed in the forms and allowed to set. When it has gained sufficient strength, the external pull on the tendons is relieved, transferring the prestress to the concrete through bond. 4, record 4, English, - pretensioning

précontrainte à prétension ou à fils adhérents : les fils d’acier sont d’abord tendus, puis le béton est coulé. Lorsque le béton est convenablement durci et a atteint des résistances suffisantes, on relâche les fils en les coupant, ce qui met le béton en précontrainte. Ce procédé est surtout utilisé pour de petits éléments, souvent préfabriqués : poutrelles, dalles, poteaux, planchers, traverses de chemin de fer, etc. ;[...] 2, record 4, French, - pr%C3%A9contrainte%20par%20pr%C3%A9tension

A soft steel cylinder is placed into the die-sinking press with its cone-shaped top touching the centre of the reduction matrix (negative design). A single stroke from the press imparts the design of the matrix into the block below like the effect produced by pressing a signet ring into soft wax. The resultant positive-design block, the punch is heat-hardened for use in the final step. In a similar impression process, the design of the punch is imparted to a series of steel blocks to provide the quantity of negative dies required for the coinage. 1, record 7, English, - matrix%20replication%20process

Dans la presse d’enfonçage, on met un cylindre d’acier tendre dont l'extrémité en forme de cône touche le centre de la matrice de réduction(modèle négatif). La presse imprime d’un seul coup le dessin de la matrice au bloc d’acier placé en dessous, produisant un effet analogue à celui d’un cachet sur la cire molle. Le bloc positif ainsi obtenu, appelé poinçon, est durci par traitement thermique pour servir à l'étape finale. Par un processus d’impression analogue, on reproduit le motif du poinçon sur une série de blocs d’acier, engendrant ainsi la quantité de coins négatifs nécessaire pour la frappe. 1, record 7, French, - processus%20de%20reproduction%20des%20matrices
