The flooring of a warehouse is made up of double-tee joints (DT) as shown. The joists are simply supported on a span of 7.5 m and are pre tensioned with one tendon in each stem with an initial force of 745 kN each, located at 75 mm above the bottom fiber. loss of stress at service load is 18%.

Transcribed Image Text:The flooring of a warehouse is made up
of double-tee joints (DT) as shown. The
joists are simply supported on a span of
7.5 m and are pre tensioned with one
tendon in each stem with an initial force
of 745 kN each, located at 75 mm above
the bottom fiber. loss of stress at service
load is 18%.
a=2.4 m
88
NA
192
267
75 mm
Load imposed on the joists are: (See
loadings)
10 kN/m
A
7.5 m

Transcribed Image Text:Properties of DT:
• A = 200,000 mm?
• 1 = 1880 x 106
mm4
• Yt = 88 mm
• Yb = 267 mm
• a = 2.4 m.
Compute the stress in MPa at the bottom
fibers of the DT at mid-span due to the
initial pre stressing force alone.
