Question: 4 . 7 A T beam ( Fig . P 4 . 7 ) supports in addition to its own weight a live load of

4.7 A T beam (Fig. P4.7) supports in addition to its own weight a live load of 60psf. The following information is provided: fc'=6000;fci'=4500;bar()ti=-201;bar()ci=2700; ?bar()ts=-465;bar()csus=2700;bar()cs=3600;=0.80;(dc)min=3in;(e0)mp=yb-3in; c=150pcf;fpu=270ksi;fpe=151ksi; final effective force of 1 strand =23.1kips. Assume stress-relieved bonded strands.
(a) Assuming you are told there is a wide feasibility domain for F and e0, determine the value of F necessary at midspan. Round off its value to the nearest integer number of strands. Check that all stresses are within allowable limits.
(b) Determine graphically the feasibility domain for the beam and find graphically the value of F(Use graph paper). This should lead to the same answer as in (a).
(c) Assuming the eccentricity is fixed at eo=yb-(dc)min, what is the maximum value of F that the beam can be subjected to, without any of the allowable stresses being exceeded?
Figure P4.:
(d) Let us assume that the live load is not specified. Assuming the eccentricity is fixed at eo=yb(dc)min, what is the maximum value of live load and corresponding F that can be applied to the beam (from a working stress design approach in flexure only).
Going back to question (a):
(e) Determine the two limits of the limit kern.
(1) Determine the upper and lower limits of the steel envelopes at every tenth of the span.
