Question
A rectangular beam with width of 233
mm and overall height of 431 mm is
prestressed by using a bonded (stress
relieved) tendons with a specified tensile
strength of prestressing tendons fpu
%3D
1380 MPa. Strength of concrete is 33.1
MPa. The area of presstressed
reinforcement in tension zone is 1,024
mm2 and its centroid is located 40 mm
above the bottom end of the beam. The
specific yield strength of prestressing
tendons fpy = 1220 MPa. Compute for
the ultimate moment capacity of the
beam.
