Ever since the introduction of high tensile steel by Freyssinet and the successful development of techniques of mechanical prestressing in the decade of thirties, prestressed concrete occupies a dominant position in the field of concrete construction. The reason is not far to seek. In the words of Guyon, there is probably no structural problem to which prestressing.
cannot provide a solution and often a revolutionary one. Prestressed concrete offers several advantages over the other .two main structural. materials, viz. reinforced concrete and structural steel. It is•. therefore, not surprising that prestressed concrete is being used for almost every type of structural concrete system.
