Hi ALL
I work with steel structure, has any one have any references about POST-TENSIONED STEEL TRUSSES for long spans?
this method of construction reduces the steel up to 50% ( check Telstra Stadium in australia-span 112m ) the idea of this method is to use cables in the bottom chord of the truss to resist the tension forces and reduces the deflection by post-tensioning the cables after assembling the trusses

On the other hand, there have been a number of posttensioned arch structures built, mostly as aircraft hangars. The ones I am familiar with were called "Strarch" arches. After a structural failure or two, I think the company went bust.

These weren't post-tensioned exactly but were set to length to provide the required camber. I've attached a photo of one of the trusses.
