Abstract: Previous research on the prestressing of lattice frames dealt with relatively short two‐ and three‐dimensional frames. It was found that prestressing the diagonals in frames with intersecting diagonals did not increase the ...

Abstract: Prestressed lattice structures are structures in which certain components are pretensioned in order to improve the performance of the structure. Prestressing the diagonals of lattice frames can increase the lateral stiffness ...

Abstract: The experimental failure load of a stayed column has previously been defined, rather arbitrarily, as the load at which the tension in the stays on the concave side goes to zero. Experimental results obtained have necessitated ...
