It is economical for larger span and increased tensile strength of concrete and to reduced sectional area.

It is economical for long span.

Yes we are use the prestress concrete for box girder in bridge.

It reduces self weight there by reducing bending moment and shear force, increase gap between moment of resistance and bending moment, the research is being carried out still on this process.

Now a day Pre stress are not use.

Now a days prestressing by post tensioning method is most economical for large spans especially for bridges. Lesser the dead load more the resisting capacity.

Post tensioning is how useful are economical?

For post tensioning, while concreting any member ducts are provided intentionally through which the tendons are kept in tension will give to the member after hardening of concrete.

A method of prestressing concrete by tensioning the tendons against hardened concrete.
