Prestressed Concrete Applications
Abstract Prestressed concrete is adaptable to a wide variety of structural systems. These include pretensioned and post-tensioned structures, both cast-in-place and precast, and other prestressed elements in conjunction with normally reinforced concrete. Case studies are presented in this chapter that represent both traditional construction and unique engineering projects that incorporate the advantages and design considerations associated with prestressed concrete. The case studies explore some of the details that make precast and prestressed concrete particularly attractive to the application. The design concepts and techniques needed to complete the case studies are developed in later chapters. While there is no general classification for precast and prestressed concrete, it is useful to group certain elements and structures together to explain how prestressed and precast concrete is designed and constructed. Prestressed and precast concrete may be considered in four broad categories: Standardized Elements, Precast Nonprestressed Elements, Fixed Cross Section Elements and Fully Engineered Elements. While there is some overlap, each group has its own unique characteristics.
