This model demonstrates a single-span beam featuring two variations: one as a simply supported beam, and the other reinforced with tendons for prestressing. The model showcases the influence of tendons introduced using the construction stages add-on, allowing for step-by-step tendon integration. This example provides insight into how prestressing affects beam behavior.
