The crack propagation in the concrete girders can be arrested by using the principles of ____________

A Pre tensioning
B Post tensioning
C Prestressing
D Loading

Correct Answer: Post tensioning

Crack propagation in the concrete girders can be arrested by using the principles of post tensioning and in this tensile cracking in the girder are arrested by including compression using tension ties forced to the sides of the girder at locations of tensile cracks.
