The application of pre-stressed tendons and ropes has an essential influence on architectural expression, new structural concepts and economy of various types of steel structures. Especially advantageous re-distribution of the internal forces acting against those resulting from self weight and action of external loads is positive effect of the global pre-stressing of steel structures. Structures can be also simply pre-deformed in order to avoid or reduce deformations caused by self weight and other applied loadings. Examples of long span roofs, bridges and other pre-stressed structures are introduced in this paper. Methods of pre-stressing, force measurements and recommendations for design and construction are presented.
