Planning Projects to Use Prestressed Masonry
While building code requirements are important, designers need further guidance as to their practical use. This paper is intended to provide ideas for planning masonry projects to use this new technology efficiently. There are two forms of prestressed masonry, post-tensioning and pre-tensioning. The primary use of prestressed masonry is post-tensioning and will not be discussed; pre-tensioning is more suited to prefabricated masonry elements and is not discussed here. This paper will address general recommendations which the designers should consider, as well as specific criteria for cavity walls, single-wythe walls, partitions, and veneers.
