Behaviour and design of prestressed stayed columns

The load-carrying capacity of slender columns is limited by global instability. However, through the addition of strategically placed cross-arms and external prestressed cables, buckling displacements can be inhibited and the load-carrying capacity considerably enhanced. Such systems, known as prest...
