Question: A concrete beam with a rectangular section, 1 0 0 m m wide and 3 0 0 m m deep, is stressed by 3 cables,

A concrete beam with a rectangular section, 100mm wide and 300mm deep, is stressed by 3 cables, each carrying an effective force of 240kN. The span of the beam is 10m. The first cable is parabolic with an eccentricity of 50mm below the centroidal axis at the center of span and 50mm above the centroidal axis at the supports. The second cable is parabolic which is concentric at the supports and has an eccentricity of 50mm below the centroidal axis at the center of span. The third cable is straight uniform eccentricity of 50mm below the centroidal axis. If the beam supports a uniformly distributed live load of 5kNm and Ec=38GPa, estimate the instantaneous deflection considering Prestress + self weight of the beam (mm).
