Hoʻohana nui ʻia nā uea kila prestressed i ka ʻoihana kūkulu hale. Hoʻohana nui ʻia ia i nā hale sima prestressed e like me nā alahaka, nā hale kiʻekiʻe, nā tunnels, nā ala kaʻaahi, a ma ka ʻoihana sima precast. He mea nui ka ikaika a me ka hilinaʻi o nā uea kila i ka hoʻoikaika ʻana i kēia mau hale, e hōʻoia ana e kūʻē lākou i nā mana o waho e like me nā ōlaʻi a me nā ukana kaumaha. ʻO kāna hana kiʻekiʻe, palekana a me ke kūpaʻa i hoʻohālikelike ʻia me nā mea hoʻoikaika kuʻuna e lilo ia i koho mua no nā papahana kūkulu koi a puni ka honua.

I ka hopena, he mea hana maʻalahi a hilinaʻi hoʻi ka uea kila prestressed i hoʻohana nui ʻia i ka ʻoihana kūkulu hale. Me kona mau hiʻohiʻona kūikawā, ka laulā o nā huahana a me ka mālama pono ʻana i nā kikoʻī, hāʻawi ia i ka ikaika a me ke kūpaʻa e pono ai no nā noi paʻakikī o ka sima prestressed. Inā he alahaka, hale a i ʻole kekahi ʻano hana ʻē aʻe, hāʻawi ka uea kila prestressed i nā ʻenekinia a me nā limahana kūkulu hale me kahi hopena hilinaʻi no ka hana ʻana i nā hale kūpaʻa a lōʻihi.
