In post-tensioning, the elastic loss in a stressed tendon resulting from the shortening of the member when additional tendons are stressed is called as Correct Answer Sequence- stressing loss

Explanation:

Loss due to elastic shortening in the post-tensioned beam

• Case 1:
  • If there is only one wire to be tensioned or There are multiple wires but all tension at the same time, in that case, Elastic shortening of the concrete takes place at the time of tensioning of wires, so there will be no further elastic shortening of concrete after anchoring the wires. So there will be no loss of stress in steel due to the elastic shortening of concrete. 
• Case 2:
  • If there are multiple wires and wires are tensioned one after another then in that case losses occur due to elastic shortening.
  • Tensioned the wire one after the other is known as Subsequent tensioning and losses are known as Sequence stressing losses
