Answer: The use of post-tensioning rods is useful in this situation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The prestressed concrete has not been accepted as a good building material. The high tensile strength of steel is combined with the concrete to give the compressive strength to the concrete.

Post-tensioning rods of steel along with jacking can be used to restore the strength of the prestressed girder and it can begin with the calculated preload. This way the damaged concrete can be repaired and restored.
