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 at 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.

Question
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 at 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.
