EXAMPLE 8.6 A prestressed I-section has the following properties: Area = 55 x 10³ mm² Second moment of area = 189 × 107 mm* Statical moment about the centroid = 468 x 10 mm³ Thickness of web = 50 mm It is prestressed horizontally by 24 wires of 5 mm diameter and vertically by similar wires at 150 mm centres. All the wires carry a tensile stress of 900 N/mm². Calculate the principal stresses at the centroid when a shearing force of 80 kN acts upon this section.

Question
EXAMPLE 8.6 A prestressed I-section has the following properties:
Area = 55 x 10³ mm²
Second moment of area = 189 × 107 mm*
Statical moment about the centroid = 468 x 10 mm³
Thickness of web = 50 mm
It is prestressed horizontally by 24 wires of 5 mm diameter and vertically by similar
wires at 150 mm centres. All the wires carry a tensile stress of 900 N/mm². Calculate
the principal stresses at the centroid when a shearing force of 80 kN acts upon this
section.
