A post tensioned bonded beam with a transfer prestress of 1560 kN is being wrongly picked up at its mid-point. The parabolic tendons used is placed at a distance of 175 mm from the bottom at the midspan and at the center cl the beam at its ends. The beam has a span of 12 m. Modulus of rupture f. 0.62 VE'. Dimension of the beam is 300 mm x 600 mm. f = 34 MPa, wt. of concrete = 24 kN/m³. 300 300 600 300 175 mm 6 m 6 m O Compute the stress at the top fibers at its midspan.
