What is History and Principles of Prestressed Concrete about?

The document provides a history of prestressed concrete, describing how the concept was developed in the late 1800s but the technology to implement it effectively did not exist until Eugene Freyssinet defined the need for high-strength steel with low relaxation. It was Gustave Magnel who wrote the first design book on prestressed concrete and built the legendary Walnut Lane Bridge. The principle of prestressing concrete is described as using steel tendons in compression to counteract the tensile stresses
