Fritz Leonhardt’s Prestressed Concrete: Design and Construction

• Underestimating losses: leads to inadequate service prestress and cracking.
• Poor tendon protection: results in long-term durability problems.
• Inadequate detailing at anchorages: causes local failures, bursting, or spalling.
• Improper construction sequence: can produce unintended load paths and excessive deflections.
• Best practices: conservative loss estimates, careful tendon routing, robust anchorage detailing, rigorous quality control of grout and concrete, and adequate inspection regimes.

Mindfulness of Deformation

: Engineers must account for both short-term and long-term deformations caused by prestressing. Mindfulness of Deformation : Engineers must account for
