Abstract
Problems of prestressed concrete girders assume special importance under the tropical conditions encountered in offshore structures. Dynamic programming is applied to a series of test cases drawn from offshore structures. Agreement between theory and experiment is generally good, with discrepancies not exceeding 25%. The outcome supports the continued use of the simplified procedures with only minor modifications.
