Abstract
A strength increase of 20% was obtained by offsetting the diagonals in prestressed latticed cantilever models loaded at their ends. The purpose of this paper is to describe the research leading up to and including the model tests that provided these strength increases. The paper considers theoretical problems and suggests an outline for further research. At the present time it is important to develop an analytical framework to predict the behaviour of structures that incorporate the concepts of this research.
