640 Problem Statements: Slabs 641 normal weight concrete and ,,=270 ksi (1,862 kN/mm?) for posttensioning strands. The service loails are slab load and live load of 50 Ib/ft? (2395 N/m), Find: (a) If the tendon is first assumed as idealized parabola in each span, find F in k/ft (KN/m) which will balance 85% of the slab weight on the span BC. What load is balanced in the ‘outer spans? Assume f, after loss is 0.6, (8) With your tendon from (a), what stresses occur at B with the loading which produces maximum moment at B? Use ideal- ized layout for this calculation. (c) Find the minimum rebar (bonded) which we must add along with this unbonded tendon and assume £60 ksi (414 N/mm). With this reinforcement plus the tendon (at same e) at B, is the strength satisfactory or is more than the minimurn rebar needed?

The 52-in. (139.7 mm) slab has two spans of 20 ft (6.10 m) in each direction and is to be identically prestressed in both directions. It is of normal weight concrete @ 150 pef (23.6 KN/m) with ff =4 ksi G45 N/mm?), f,, =270 ksi (1862 N/mm"). Find: (a) Design the prestressing force and the c.g. profile, using the beam method, to balance 72% of the weight of the slab. Distribute the tendons among the middle and column strips in some proper proportions. | (®) For the design in (a), compute approximately the actual stresses due to prestress and dead load. (©) Fora uniform live load of 50 psf (2395 N/m?) over the entire area, compute the resulting stresses at critical points by the beam method. (d) For the condition given in (c), what do you think are the actual stresses at critical points (reference 1)*. (e) Compute the ultimate total load w, (in psf (N/m?) over entire 0 cos oa area) using the beam method and assuming plastic action with ao moment redistribution allowed by ACI Code. What live load can be permitted, based on w,, using proper load and phi factors? Eteation 10 fe tong “REF. 1 “Behavior of a Continuous Slab Prestressed in Two Directions.” A.C. Scordelis, TY.
