very limited degree in this country, since extremely careful control of the
design, construction planning, and execution of the construction is required
if the results which are obtained are to be satisfactory. Furthermore, the
loss of prestress which results with this method is much larger than when
other methods are used, unless frequent adjustments in the jacks are made,
since the concrete is subjected to constant strain in this method rather than
to nearly constant stress as in other methods. For these reasons, and since
the type of structures to which this method of prestressing can be applied is
very limited and is beyond the scope of usual generalities, subsequent
consideration of this method is not given in this book (see Ref. 5).
