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/mm2. The span of the beam is L m. • Modulus of elasticity of steel = 210 kN/mm2 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.
