Prestressed concrete girders Span College Hall
65-ft girders used in building the assembly hall at Manhattanville College, Purchase, N Y, designed to carry 122 lb per sq ft dead load and 85 lb per sq ft live load; total weight of steel for six girders was 8 tons as against 72 tons required for steel girders; 460-ton total final prestressing force necessary in each girder was obtained by use of 22 cables, each of twelve 0.196 in. diam high tensile wire grouped in steel sheath. (See also Am Soc Civ Engrs -- Proc v 79 Separate n 265 Sept 1953 5 p; Concrete v 61 n 6 May 1953 p 3-6, 26)
