Design Experience with Post-Tensioned Spatial Steel Truss Networks
Experience with large deflection non-linear structures has led the authors to a novel approach to structural design of more conventional steel truss systems using post -tensioning. A number of built examples of post-tensioned steel spatial truss networks which have been employed to cover sports arenas are presented. Four long-span structures are used as examples. The principles of designing post-tensioned steel structures is discussed, including prestress as a property of a structural system and the means of achieving reliable prestress in construction.
