A prestressed concrete beam of rectangular section 300mm wide and 600mm deep is prestressed by 5 pieces of 8mm high tensile wires at 500mm from the top and 15 pieces of 8mm diameter high tensile wires at 83 mm from the bottom. The initial stress in the wires is 1200 MPa. Estimate the loss of stress in the bottom wires due to elastic shortening of concrete. Assume modular ratio = 6

Design criteria for structural loading

The different loads such as loads due to self-weight (dead load) and external loads such as live load, wind loads, seismic load, snow load, and other loads and load combinations that influence the design of a building are called structural loading. The nature of the applied load differs from changes in the location, design, and type of materials used. The design criteria require that structures must be designed and constructed to be able to withstand all load types that are expected to act upon the structure and render its usage for the designated purpose. The structural members such as beams, slabs, columns, and foundations help the structure to withstand the applied load. There are different institutes such as ASCE and ACI that provide building design codes to assure minimum safety requirements and quality of the structures.
