Centroidal Axis
Prestressing steel location
8 m
600 mm
Concrete compressive strength fe = 40 MPa
Concrete tensile strength f = 4 MPa
100 mm
Distributed load due to self weight w, = 4.5 kN/m
600 mm
Stress in prestressing steel fps = 1000 MPa
Prestressing steel area Aps = 1000 mm?
a) Calculate the maximum prestressing steel eccentricity such that no concrete cracking
occurs at the midspan section and at 70 cm away from the beam end? (The only loading
is due to self weight of the beam)
b) Using the eccentricity in part (a), determine the maximum superimposed uniformly
distributed live load that can be applied on the beam such that no concrete cracking
occurs on the beam.
