Question: A 9 0 - ft long simply supported post - tensioned concrete beam which has a constant I - shaped x - section. See below

A 90-ft long simply supported post-tensioned concrete beam which has a constant I-shaped x-
section. See below for more details on the beam.
The post-tensioning of the beam has a parabolic profile in the longitudinal direction to mirror
the dead load moment demand of the beam.
The post-tensioning starts at the CG at each end of the beam and has a maximum eccentricity
at midspan, emidspan =18.
Question 1.(2 points)
Calculate the gross x-sectional area, Ag and the gross moment of inertia, Ig for the beam x-
section above.
Question 2.(2 points)
Calculate the self-weight of the concrete beam (in KLF) using the unit weight of concrete,
wconc =0.150 KCF. Calculate the moment demand due to self-weight only at midspan, Msw.
