A concrete beam of rectangular cross section 14 in x 24 in is to be reinforced with bonded prestressing tendons having a total cross sectional area of 0.90 in?. The tendons are placed at 3 in from the extreme tension fiber (center to center distance). It has a 25 ft simple span, f=5,000 psi, fpu=250,000 psi, and the initial prestress is 160,000 psi, f,y=0.85fu and 10% losses. What is the stress in Ib-ft due to the weight of the beam at the bottom fiber? Assume unit weight of concrete = 150 lb/ft3.

Question
A concrete beam of rectangular cross section 14 in x 24 in is to be reinforced with bonded prestressing tendons having a total cross
sectional area of 0.90 in?. The tendons are placed at 3 in from the extreme tension fiber (center to center distance). It has a 25 ft
simple span, f=5,000 psi, fpu=250,000 psi, and the initial prestress is 160,000 psi, fry=0.85fpu and 10% losses. What is the stress in
Ib-ft due to the weight of the beam at the bottom fiber? Assume unit weight of concrete =
150 lb/ft3.
