Axially Loaded Members
Abstract The primary motivation in prestressing concrete is to offset tensile stresses that develop in flexural members. Consequently, using prestressed concrete in members that are largely loaded in axial compression or loaded in tension might appear contradictory. Furthermore, concrete’s low tensile strength makes its use as a tension member immediately doubtful. Nonetheless, there are cases where axially loaded prestressed concrete contributes to the engineer’s design options. Applications include ring girders for shells and foundations, circular tanks, columns, and piles.
