Prestressed concrete is a form of concrete used in construction which is pre stressed by being placed under compression to supporting any loads.

Prestressed concrete is concrete that has had internal stresses introduced to counteract, to the degree desired, the tensile stresses that will be imposed in service. The stress is usually imposed by tendons of individual hard-drawn wires, cables of hard-drawn wires, or bars of high strength alloy steel.

To make concrete section strong, compression stress become equal ,with tension stress, section becomes small and strong, use in longspan

It used a high tensile strength steel cable (tendon) in slab and beam with long spans to get more economic system, and it divided into two type, the first one is pretension and the other post tension.
