Features: This book has been revised and reprinted based on the first "Technical Specification for Prestressed Steel Structures" (CECS212:2006) in China. It summarizes the authors' decades of experience in scientific research, teaching, design, and construction practice. Particularly, the theoretical contributions created by the authors and the first successful large-span prestressed steel reticulated shell projects they established are significant contributions to the development of prestressed steel structure discipline in China. The book is rich in content and covers a wide range of topics, divided into five parts and nineteen chapters, including the theory, design, testing, and case studies of domestic and international engineering examples in three major systems: planar structures, spatial structures, and special structures. The book emphasizes both theoretical and practical aspects in material selection, balancing domestic and international perspectives, striving to be forward-looking, comprehensive, systematic, and practical. It serves as a professional reference for technical personnel in research, design, construction, and manufacturing, as well as an auxiliary teaching material for students and researchers in universities and research institutions.
