In this study, it was studied applying thermal prestressing method (TPSM) to the slab structure which is in service. In case of the TPSM, both sectional increase effect and prestress effect can be achieved by applying the thermal prestressing method. The measurement to evaluate the applying prestress was conducted and it was compaerd with the results of FE analysis. As a result of this study, it can be confirmed that the expected values for prestress were similar with the measured values.
