17. brittleness – property of a material to fracture at low stress without appreciable deformation

18. ductility – the property of a material to undergo plastic deformation after being stressed beyond the elastic limit before rupturing. Ductility is a desirable property of a structural material since plastic behavior is an indicator of reserve strength and can serve as a visual warning of impending failure

19. eccentric load/ force – a force applied parallel to the longitudinal axis of a structural member but not to the centroid of the cross section, producing bending and uneven distribution of stresses in the section.

longitudinal axis by two equal and opposite torques24. prestressed concrete – concrete in which internal stresses

are introduced of such magnitude and distribution that the tensile stresses resulting from the service loads are counteracted to a desired degree

25. post tensioning – a method of prestressing reinforced concrete in which tendons are tensioned after the concrete has hardened.

26. jacking force – a temporary force exerted into the prestressing tendons

27. tendon – a steel element such as a wire, cable, bar, rod, or strand used to impart prestress to the concrete when the element is placed under tension

40. contraction joint – in concrete work, a break in a structure made to allow for the drying and temperature shrinkages (of concrete or masonry) thus to prevent cracks forming at undesirable places. Since all materials containing cement shrink appreciably on drying, contraction joints are needed in every long structure.
