A prestressed simply supported 15 m span beam with rectangular box section is post-tensioned by
straight high tensile steel wires as shown in Figure. The prestressing wires are placed at the center
line of the flanges and initially stressed to 850 N/mm². The beam is required to carry a uniformly
distributed superimposed load of 4.5 kN/m in addition to its weight. If the concrete stresses are not
to exceed 17 MPa in compression and 1 MPa in tension at service stage, calculate the range of the
total prestressing wires area required. Ignore prestressing force losses in your answer. (Ye
