ABSTRACT
In Memoriam Professor Ben C. Gerwick, Jr., a world authority and pioneer in prestressed concrete, died December 25, 2006, a month after he so graciously expanded, upgraded, and completed the revision to this chapter which he originally wrote for the previous edition of the Handbook. He is fondly remembered as a prolific author of papers and books and as a foremost expert in the innovational designs of offshore-prestressed concrete structures.
