2) Prestress Losses, T/F A type of immediate prestress loss is anchorage slip, where the anchorages of the tendon slip after prestressing. Relaxation of the steel tendon occurs primarily in pretensioned concrete. Friction loss occurs primarily in post-tensioned concrete. Creep and shrinkage of concrete is an immediate prestress loss. Elastic shortening only affects post-tensioned concrete beams.
