CONT

Aujourd'hui, la précontrainte totale (ou intégrale) n'est employée que pour certaines constructions particulières. Pour la plupart des constructions usuelles en béton précontraint, on utilise une précontrainte partielle. Dès lors, on peut se demander quel niveau de précontrainte partielle doit-on utiliser? Le niveau maximal correspond à la précontrainte totale et le niveau minimal au béton armé (aucune précontrainte).

Key term(s)
  • précontrainte totale
  • précontrainte intégrale
