These three papers are an edited summary of PCISFRAD Project No. 3, Prestressed Concrete Column Behavior. The full report is available from PCI Headquarters at $10.00 to firms supporting the sponsored research, $15.00 to PCI Members (non-supporting firms) and $30.00 to non-PCI Members. The summary papers, and the full report, are based on a research project supported by the PCI Specially Funded Research and Development (PCISFRAD) Program. The conduct of the research and the preparation of the final report were performed under the general guidance and direction of a selected industry Steering Committee. However, it should be recognized that the conclusions and recommendations derived from the research are those of the authors. The results of the research are made available to producers, engineers and others to use with appropriate engineering judgment similar to that applied to any new technical information.
