puristusjännitteiset
Puristusjännitteiset is a Finnish term that translates to "compression-loaded" or "prestressed" in English, often referring to structural elements or components subjected to significant compressive forces. This concept is fundamental in engineering and construction, particularly in the design of structures that must withstand heavy loads.
In civil engineering, prestressed concrete is a prime example. Here, reinforcing tendons are put under tension
Beyond concrete, the term can also apply to other materials and systems. For instance, in mechanical engineering,
