Transcribed Image Text:1. Determine the initial stress at the bottom fibers due to prestressing force alone.
2. Determine the stress at the bottom fiber due to service load and prestressing force.
3. Calculate the additional load the floor can carry so that the stress at the bottom
fibers at the midspan is zero.

Transcribed Image Text:The flooring of a warehouse is made up of double – tee joints as shown in Figure-1. The
joints are simply – supported on a span of 7.5 m and are pre – tensioned with one tendon
in each stem with an initial jacking force of 745 kN each, located 75 mm above the bottom
fiber, loss of prestress at service loads is 18%. The properties of the section are as
follows:
• Total Area = 200,000 mm²
• I = 1,880 x 106 mm*
• DL = 2.3 kPa (excluding self – weight)
LL = 6 kPa
