Abstract
Reports potential new applications of prestressed concrete for floating and submerged ocean structures such as vessels for transport and storage of cryogenic materials; petroleum storage and drilling installations; floating airports and nuclear power plants; and boats and barges of all types. Advantages and disadvantages of prestressed concrete are enumerated, and special design and construction considerations are discussed.
