T3- Please I want solution of this question. Thanks

Note:

e = 137 mm

Initial stress = 1501 N/mm2

L = 10 m

Slip at anchorage = 1 mm

A prestressed concrete beam of rectangular section, 300 mm wide 600 mm deep, is prestressed
with by 14 wires of 4 mm diameter wires located at a constant eccentricity of e. Initial stress in
prestressing wires is ----- N/mm?. The span of the beam is L- m.
• Modulus of elasticity of steel = 210 kN/mm?
• Modulus of elasticity of concrete = 35 kN/mm?
Relaxation of steel stress = 2.5 % of the effective stress
Shrinkage strain of concrete = 300 x 106 for pre-tensioning and 200 x 106 for post
tensioning
Slip at anchorage =
mm
Ultimate creep strain = 38 x 106 and 22 x 106 mm/mm per N/mm? for pre-tensioned and
!!
post tensioned members respectively.
Frictional coefficient for wave effect = 0.00175 per m
Calculate the total loss of stress in wires if the beam is pre-tensioned and post-tensioned.
Also, compare the percentage loss of stress in wires for pre and post tensioned.
