This process enhances the concrete's ability to withstand high loads, minimizes cracks, and increases the durability of the structure. The cables are tensioned using specialized equipment, which compresses the concrete and makes it more resistant to tensile and bending stresses.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"direction: rtl; text-align: right;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%D8%AA%D8%A7%D8%B1%D9%8A%D8%AE_%D8%AA%D8%B7%D9%88%D8%B1_%D8%AA%D9%82%D9%86%D9%8A%D8%A9_%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AE%D8%B1%D8%B3%D8%A7%D9%86%D8%A9_%D9%84%D8%A7%D8%AD%D9%82%D8%A9_%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B4%D8%AF\"><\/span><strong>History of the development of post-tensioned concrete technology<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"direction: rtl; text-align: right;\">The technology began in the early 20th century, first used in France in 1933 to fulfill the need for more durable and efficient structures.
