Prestress is a method of strengthening or stiffening a structural element by introducing internal stresses. It can be applied during the manufacturing process or during the installation process.
What is Pre-Stress?
Tempered Glass Prestressed Concrete Tensile Structures
![Page 19: Effective Use of Timber in Architectural Applications David Bowick, P…old.cecobois.com/images/Conferencececobois2014/DavidBo... · 2014. 2. 24. · programs such as ETABS and SAP](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052617/60af6d06f0f9d10a8b76ed0c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Prestressing can be used to couple a strong flexible element (steel tendon) with a weak stiff element (concrete) to create a strong stiff element (post tensioned concrete)
Why Pre-Stress?

We have a valid load path and it's strong, but to satisfy L/300 gross uplift deflection we need a section almost as big as the simple beam section. The cable utilization is negligible and the trussing is just “bling”.

Simple Beam – 265x646
Pinned Chord Truss – 265x380 But it's irrelevant because it doesn't work for uplift. We could ballast for uplift, but increased load results in increased size. Cable oversized to achieve stiffness.
Continuous Chord Truss – 265x570 Governed by uplift stiffness.
Prestressed Truss – 265x342 40% Savings in glulam relative to non-prestressed truss. Remains rigid under load reversal.

An Aside About Uplift While we reasonably consider net uplift when designing for strength, we need to consider gross uplift when designing for stiffness.

An Aside About Deflection Criteria The “L-over” criteria for deflection is completely irrelevant for cantilevers.

“So Dave… How do we design using prestress?”
![Page 34: Effective Use of Timber in Architectural Applications David Bowick, P…old.cecobois.com/images/Conferencececobois2014/DavidBo... · 2014. 2. 24. · programs such as ETABS and SAP](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052617/60af6d06f0f9d10a8b76ed0c/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Designing with Prestress Most non-linear versions of analysis programs such as ETABS and SAP can accommodate prestress directly.
![Page 35: Effective Use of Timber in Architectural Applications David Bowick, P…old.cecobois.com/images/Conferencececobois2014/DavidBo... · 2014. 2. 24. · programs such as ETABS and SAP](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052617/60af6d06f0f9d10a8b76ed0c/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
L = LoT
where = coefficient of thermal expansion
L = TLo/AE
Therefore
LoT = TL
o/AE, and
T = T/AE or T = TAE/ *
Designing with Prestress Most simple analysis programs have the ability to accommodate stresses due to temperature changes. We can use this to apply prestress:
This is valid for a member restrained against perfectly rigid supports. Against elastic supports the force will be reduced by the movement of the supports and the temperature change will have to be adjusted.

“Dave… How do they erect this?”

Applying Prestress
Manufacture elements intentionally short by a specific amount. Force fit. This method is imprecise and probably appropriate for nominal prestress only.
DRIFTING
Elements can be pulled directly using a calibrated tension jack such as those used in prestressed concrete. This is probably most appropriate where prestress forces are large.
CONTROLLED STRETCH
The structure can be deformed intentionally using simple tools such as bottle jacks and come-alongs. The prestressing tendon can be attached under zero stress, then the jack or come-along relieved, transferring the load to the tendon. The measured impact of the prestressed element can be predicted fairly accurately so the deformation of the structure itself becomes the gauge.

Analyze the frame with cables as though the cables
were capable of resisting compression. Step 1:

Determine and apply prestrain to each cable that will
(hopefully) result in prestress to overcome the
compression.
T1 = T/EA
= (43,000N)/[(11.7x10-6)(135,000MPa)(283mm2)]

T2 = T/EA
= (75,000N)/[(11.7x10-6)(135,000MPa)(283mm2)]
=167°C
Step 2: Or Misstep # 1

The prestress is not in internal
equilibrium. When we apply T
and analyze, the structure deforms
slightly to achieve equilibrium and
our forces change.
Make a note of the relationship between the
prestress forces.
P1/P2 = 40kN / 56kN

When you apply prestress in a system, the forces will redistribute to achieve
equilibrium regardless of how you applied the prestrain.

Apply T to cable 1 only, and leave cable 2 alone.
Make a note of the relationship between the
prestress forces.

Preq/P = 43.4/16.5
=2.63
Preq/P = 75/23.2
What Next: Determine the ratio of required prestress to the prestress resulting from an arbitrary application of prestrain for each cable.
Multiply your arbitrary T by the highest of these ratios. 3.23 in this case.
=3.23

But if we actually apply it this way, our frame drifts. The geometry
changes when the forces redistribute to generate equilibrium.
=23mm
This level of prestress is in equilibrium and adequate to
overcome the worst case cable compression. Apply T
![Page 55: Effective Use of Timber in Architectural Applications David Bowick, P…old.cecobois.com/images/Conferencececobois2014/DavidBo... · 2014. 2. 24. · programs such as ETABS and SAP](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052617/60af6d06f0f9d10a8b76ed0c/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Why isn’t the result exact?
T1=53300/[(11.7x10-6)(135000)(284)]
= 119 °C
T2=75000/[(11.7x10-6)(135000)(284)]
= 167 °C
Apply T to each element that will result in prestress that is distributed in proper proportion and is adequate to overcome the compression in the worst case.
Step 3:
The movement of the other elements under prestress all result in small changes
in force. In this case the top beam sags slightly relieving the prestress.

“Why go to all this trouble? Why wouldn’t I just use tension only
bracing, and let the compression side go slack? It looks like the final
design force is the same”
Load Case 1
100 kN
=37.4 mm
=>22.7 mm
With a conventional tension only system the “compression”
cable doesn’t contribute to stiffness, so if the system is
stiffness controlled, members have to be made larger to
compensate.

Using prestress we can join CLT panels together to span in their weak direction creating genuine two-way action. In this example a 7 ply assembly spans 6 m supporting 1.2 kPa Dead and 1.2 kPa snow.
![Page 79: Effective Use of Timber in Architectural Applications David Bowick, P…old.cecobois.com/images/Conferencececobois2014/DavidBo... · 2014. 2. 24. · programs such as ETABS and SAP](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052617/60af6d06f0f9d10a8b76ed0c/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
In this example, we increased the bending capacity of a 215x380 beam by 22% using
prestress. Coincidentally this is almost exactly the increase achieved by increasing the beam
size by one ply. This is likely a useful technique only in applications where depth is
constrained. It could be the basis for full strength field splices of glulam beams, however.

Beam Reaction, R = 72 kN
Objective: Insert a stack of springs such that following shrinkage, the tension rod will retain nominal tension under load (to remain rigid). Say Tresidual = 15% R.
Maximum deformation of each spring to be 75% h0.
R = 72 kN Fresidual = R + Tresidual
= 72 kN + 15% * 72 kN = 82.8 kN
Consider nesting 3- DSC 112x57x6 Spring Washers
Now F75% = 43.8 kN Each Fresidual = 1/3 * 82.8 = 27.6 kN 25% = 0.63 mm @ F = 15.9 kN 50% = 1.25 mm @ F = 30.2 kN 75% = 1.88 mm @ F = 43.8 kN
By linear interpolation,
residual = (27.6-15.9)/(30.2-15.9)*1.25 + (30.2-27.6)/(30.2-15.9)*0.63 = 1.14mm
/stack = 75% - residual = 1.88 - 1.14 = 0.74 mm #stacks = residual / residual = 6.35/0.74 = 8.6
Say 9 Stacks
