The Structural Engineer, Volume 33, Issue 2, 1955
FOR many years, jetties and other light piers were, by tradition, built in timber.

Consequently it seemed reasonable to replace timber by ferro-concrete. L.P. Brice

Actually, prestressing is a physical principle which has been used for thousands of years, although it was not recognised as such, and this physical principle is not confined to concrete. Felix J. Samuely
