It is established fact that the initial prestressing force applied to concrete member continuously decreases with a time. The proper determining of level of prestressing force at each loading stage - from the moment of transter of the force to the concrete, to the different stages at service load, up to the ultimate - is very important. The reduction of prestressing force may be divided into two groups: immediate loses and lime-dependent loses. The rules for the adoption of the initial force and description of the immediate losses of the prestressing force are given in the paper.
