Question: 2 2 . 1 . A rectangular concrete beam with width b = 2 7 5 m m and total depth h = 7 0

22.1. A rectangular concrete beam with width b=275mm and total depth h=700mm is posttensioned using a single parabolic tendon with an eccentricity of 195mm at midspan and 0mm at the simple supports. The initial prestress force Pt=1500kN, and the losses 16%. The member is to carry superimposed dead and live loads of 4.5 and 15kNm, respectively, uniformly distributed over the 12m span. Specified concrete strength fc'=35MPa, and at the time of transfer fc''=28MPa. Determine the flexural stress distributions in the concrete at midspan:
(a) for initial conditions before application of superimposed load and
(b) at full-service load. Compare with the ACI limit stresses for Class U members. Please solve this civil engineering question in detail, dont just give explanations and draw the skech too and i'll give a like
