Transcribed Image Text:1. Discuss the concept of prestressed concrete, the two different prestressing types and
methods. Add illustration for a better presentation.
2. For the prestressed concrete beam shown below, the beam is reinforced with prestressing
steel. The material properties and prestressing are as follow:
fc' = 40 MPa
fci' = 35 MPa
fpu = 1860 MPa
fpi = 1120 MPa
Aps = 8 x 100mm²
fpe = 1720 MPa
Allowable stresses at final stage:
ftop = 0.45fc'
fbottom=0.50 √fc'
Determine the following:
a. deadlod (self-weight) of the beam, kN/m
b. liveload the beam could carry for allowable stress in compression, kN/m
c. liveload the beam could carry for allowable stress in tension, kN/m
