“…These applications gave structural engineering an actual and new form of art [6]. The construction of great RC buildings and civil engineering works has had a very strong impulse thanks to the inventions of Eugène Freyssinet [7][8][9] and the genius of designers/builders, such as Robert Maillart [9]. In demonstrating the strong impulse for community development and modernization, some RC applications have been incredible and perhaps even unrepeatable.…”

In recent years, the preservation strategies of cultural heritage have become an element of considerable importance. Unfortunately, research has often been conducted in an excessively mono-sectoral or disaggregated manner. Moreover, there is a significant number of reinforce concrete (RC) buildings and engineering works that are of historical interest and play a key role during the earthquakes. An urban center, its historical structures and infrastructures or single buildings, if well managed, preserved, protected, recovered and enhanced can represent an excellent source of income and induce a considerable economic development in the neighboring areas. On the other hand, a lack of value appreciation and/or incorrect management represent a significant economic loss in the long-term, but an immediate loss after earthquakes. In this work, the historical and cultural value of these RC structures and infrastructures is discussed and the main critical issues are identified, outlining the fundamental requirements for conservation.

Introduction. A large number of building materials is used for construction of buildings and structures, the reinforced concrete is being one of them. It has the leading position when choosing the material for construction of buildings and structures. However, like any other material, the reinforced concrete has its disadvantages: apart from considerable weight of the reinforced concrete structures, the impossibility to cover with them the large spans can also be referred to disadvantages, as the increase of structures’ spans impairs the economic efficiency of using the reinforced concrete. To handle this, engineers have developed the technology of steel reinforcement prestressing. Thanks to prestressed reinforcement, it has become possible to increase the spans and reduce the cross section of the reinforced concrete structures. This scientific paper investigates the technology of steel reinforcement post-tensioning.Materials and Methods. The materials for the research were obtained from the available scientific editions, articles, journals and Internet blogs. The documents’ content analysis method was used to write the article. In the course of the research, it is planned to find the information about the post-tensioning technology. The object of the study is the steel wire-rope post-tensioning.Results. Thanks to the research, the data on the history of origin of the reinforcement prestressing technology was obtained and the advantages and disadvantages of post-tensioning were analysed.Discussion and Conclusions. After the research, the data on the technology of steel reinforcement post-tensioning was obtained, the application of the technology in Russia in the construction of industrial and civil facilities was considered. This technology allows increasing the spans and reducing the cross section of the reinforced concrete structures.
