Question: 3 . 7 The I - beam shown in Fig. P 3 . 7 is to be used in a roof support system spanning 4

3.7 The I-beam shown in Fig. P3.7 is to be used in a roof support system spanning 45 ff
between simple supports. It will carry a superimposed dead load of 400lbft and
service live load of 425lbft in addition to its own weight. The member will be
post-tensioned with a force Pi=190kips. At midspan the eccentricity is 11.5in.
Time-dependent losses of 20 percent will be assumed. Normal weight concrete is
specified with fc'=5,000, and at time of stressing, fci'=3,750.(a) Find
concrete flexural stresses at midspan at the time of initial tensioning and compare
with ACI limits.(b) Find concrete stresses at full service load and compare with ACI
