If the tendon has an eccentricity e at the beam midspan and the self-
weight moment MD is taken into account, the stress of the concrete
undergoes at the midspan section at the level of the prestressing steel

Initial elastic modulus 28th elastic modulus
Part a:
In the previous example, ∆fpES = 60.36 MPa. Clearly, the last tendon
suffers no loss of prestress due to elastic shortening. So only the first
four pairs have losses, with the first pair suffering the maximum loss
of 60.36 MPa. From Eq. 3.5, the loss due to elastic shortening in the
post – tensioned beam is:

Steel Stress Relaxation (R)
(a) For stresses due to the tendon jacking force, fpJ = 0.94fpy , but
not greater than the lesser of 0.80fp𝑢 and the maximum value
recommended by the manufacturer of the tendons and
anchorages.
(b) Immediately after prestress transfer, fp𝑖 = 0.82fpy , but not
greater than 0.74fp𝑢
(c) In post–tensioned tendons, at the anchorages and couplers
immediately after force transfer = 0.70fp𝑢
The range value of fpy is given by the following:
′
log 𝑡 f′pi Eq. 3.7
∆fpR = f p𝑖 − 0.55
10 fpy
where f′pi is the initial prestress in steel to which the concrete element
is subjected.
If step–by–step loss analysis is necessary, the loss incremental at any
particular stage can be defined as:
where t1 is the time at the beginning of the interval and t 2 is the time
at the end of the interval from jacking to the time when the loss is
being considered.

where fcs is the stress in concrete at the level of the centroid of the
prestressing tendon. In general, this loss is a function of the stress in
the concrete at the section being analyzed. In post–tensioned, non–
bonded members, the loss can be considered essentially uniform
along the whole span. Hence, an average value of concrete stress fcs
between the anchorage points can be used in calculating the creep in
post–tensioned members.

essentially the same format in Equation 3.10, viz,

Assuming that the prestress force between the start of the curved
portion and it end is small (= 15%), it is sufficiently accurate to use
the initial tension for the entire curve in Eq. 3.21, which can be
simplified as
where L is in feet.

Note that the percentage of loss due to anchorage slip becomes very
high in short – beam elements and thus becomes of major significance
in short – span beam. In such cases, it becomes difficult to post –
tension such beams with high accuracy.
