Question: 2 . 2 . A pretensioned prestressed beam has a rectangular cross section of 1 5 0 m m width and 5 0 0 m

2.2. A pretensioned prestressed beam has a rectangular cross section of 150mm width and 500mm total depth. It is built using normal-density concrete with a specified strength fc'=28MPa and a strength at transfer of fc1'=21MPa. Stress limits are as follows: f1i=1.15MPa,fcl=-12.4MPa,fts=3.27MPa, and fcs=-12.4MPa. The losses may be assumed equal to 20%. For these conditions, find the initial prestress force Pi and eccentricity e to maximize the superimposed load moment Md+Ml that can be carried without exceeding the stress limits. What uniformly distributed load can be carried on a 9m simple span? What tendon profile would you recommend? Pleae solve this civil engineering question in detail, dont just give explanations solve it and draw the sketch too and i'll give a like
