A prestressed concrete beam 200 mm wide and 300 mm deep, is used over an effective span of 6m to support an imposed load of 4 kN/m. The density of concrete is 24kN/m3. At the quarter span section of the beam, find the magnitude of: a) the concentric prestressing force necessary for zero fiber-stress at the soffit when the beam is fully loaded.b) the eccentric prestressing force located 100 mm from the bottom of the beam which would nullify the bottom fiber stress due to loading.
A prestressed beam of a certain condominium was designed to have a rectangular section 300mm x 600mm deepand has a simple span of 9m. At the midspan section, the tendons are placed at 200mm above the soffit whichcarries an initial prestressing force of 1,110KN which ultimately relaxes to 880 KN. If the allowable stress inconcrete in compression is 13.5 MPa and in tension is 1.4MPa, determine the safe moment it could carry and thesuperimposed live load that it could also carry. Assume concrete will not crack in tension.
