11.10<\/a>].<\/p>\nThe stiffness of the cable-net roof was established by prestressing. By applying forces at the ends of prestressing (hogging) cables, tension forces are induced in both carrying (sagging) cables and prestressing cables. The prestressing and carrying cables are normally placed perpendicularly to each other (Fig. 11-11b). The level of prestress applied should ensure that no prestressing cables are slack for any load configuration.<\/p><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Prestress Prestress is a technique that generates stresses in structural elements before they are loaded. This can be used to reduce particular unwanted stresses and\/or displacements which would develop due to external loads, or for generating particular shapes of tension structures. Prestressing techniques can be used to achieve: A redistribution of internal forces: reduction of the […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":116,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-statics.php","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":{"0":"post-1084","1":"page","2":"type-page","3":"status-publish","5":"entry"},"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/structural-concepts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1084","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/structural-concepts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/structural-concepts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/structural-concepts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/116"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/structural-concepts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1084"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/structural-concepts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1084\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1089,"href":"https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/structural-concepts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1084\/revisions\/1089"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/structural-concepts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1084"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
