Abstract
This article focuses on the control of cracks in prestressed concrete structures. It explains the stress characteristics, influencing factors, and causes of crack formation during construction. The article introduces advanced technologies such as intelligent prestressed tensioning, highlights key aspects like high-performance concrete mix design, and discusses various monitoring and control methods. It also covers their practical applications and achievements in real-world projects, and looks ahead to future development directions.
