Tension members are linear members in which axial forces act so as to elongate stretch the member. Prestressed composite tension members comprise an assembly which includes compression and tension portions which are loaded longitudinally along or symmetrical with the center of gravity of the compression portion and prestressed causing both the tension and compression portions to cooperate in resisting lengthening of the assembly rather than the tension portion alone, thus lessening such. In order for the member to remain static, forces on the inside of the member would have to pull in the opposite direction.
