ASSIGNMENT NO. 1
Problem 1:
A pretensional simply supported rectangular beam has a span of 20m. It is subjected to a uniform
superimposed gravity dead-load intensity W50 and live-load intensity WL summing to 5.75 kN/m.
The initial prestress before losses is fpi = 0.70, fpu = 1,303 MPa. Compute the extreme fiber stress
at ¼ span from the left support due to:
(a) the initial full prestress and no external gravity load
(b) the final service load conditions when prestress losses have taken place
Assume that ten-½ in. diameter, seven-wire-strand (10–12.7-mm diameter strand AD = 98.71
mm2) tendons with a 108-D± strand pattern are used to prestress the beam.
ee = 0, ec = 280mm
Solution:
I. By Basic Method
Assuming 1 meter:
Wb = mg
= (Vb x Wc)(g)
= [(0.405m x 0.76m x 1)(2,400kg/m3)][9.81 m/s2]
= 7,246.84 N/m
