1. A 300x500mm prestressed concrete beam is monolithically casted with a 100mm thick slab.

The
beam is reinforced with 4-20mm diameter main reinforcing steel bars. It is then reinforced with 2-
leg stirrups, 10mm diameter. The beam is prestressed with 208-D1 tendon profile, grade 270. If
f’’c=35MPa and fyt=400MPa. Determine the spacing of stirrups in a “d” distance span using the
maximum ultimate shearing force acting on the beam. The beam is simply supported with a total
factored uniform load of 100kN/m. The beam has total length of 10m. Use detailed calculation.
Assume the beam is inside the building and that dp=480mm express your answer in multiples of
5mm.

2. The following points are located in the beam:

Point A is 2.5m from the left support
Point B is at the mid span of the first span
Point C is at the mid support
Point D is 3m from the right support
Point E is 4m from the right support
Other parameters
Effective prestressing force P=1000kN is applied
Gross cross sectional Area=350,000mm.sq.
Gross moment of inertia about the neutral axis=14,291.67x10^6 mm^4

Determine the total bending moment acting at the point C in kN-m.
