Abstract


In this article, the writer upholds the principle that the success and originality of the project lie principally in the design. Since this first stage is where all the different possibilities imagined are sounded out, it would be worth considering pre-stressing as a technique which, possessing specific characteristics, would imply the application of some processes which could modify the structural behaviour leading to identify remarkably simple solutions. To this end, and with the object of intuitively putting forth these ideas, some examples have been set out which illustrate the possibilities of offering pre-stressed concrete in the specific case of roofs of detached buildings.
