Question

Transcribed Image Text:A rectangular concrete beam 250 mm wide
and 600 mm deep is pre-stressed by means of
16 high tensile wires, each of 7 mm diameter,
located Sat 200 mm from the bottom face of
the beam at a given section. If the effective
pre-stress in the wires is 700 MPa, what is the
maximum sagging bending moment (in kNm)
(correct to 1-decimal place) due to live load
that this section of the beam can withstand
without causing tensile stress at the bottom
face of the beam? Neglect the effect of dead
load of beam.
