Prestressed concrete body, method for the production thereof, and use of same

Abstract

The invention relates to a prestressed concrete body, containing prestressed filament yarns based on cellulose and/or cellulose derivatives. Advantageously, said prestressed concrete body is produced in that: 1.) filament yarns based on cellulose and/or derivatives thereof are clamped into a shaping container, 2.) the clamped filament yarns are wetted with water to make them swell, 3.) a prestress of approximately 0.5 to 10.0 kg/4000 dtex is applied to the wetted filament yarns, 4.) liquid concrete is poured into the shaping container containing the prestressed filament yarns, 5.) the liquid concrete in the shaping container is cured to form precast concrete, maintaining the specified applied prestress. Useful application possibilities are opened up by the invention. Use as components or structural elements with low brittleness and/or high resistance to corrosion, especially in bridge building, especially in bridge girders, in constructing containers, in constructing high-rise structures, in the production of hollow floors or ceilings, hollow core planks, precast floors or ceilings and for recycling once the service life has passed by being ground into concrete granules is advantageous.
