Question: A concrete rectangular beam, 3 0 0 mm wide x 6 0 0 mm deep, is prestressed by post tensioned wires ( Ap - 6

A concrete rectangular beam, 300 mm wide x 600 mm deep, is prestressed by post tensioned wires (Ap-640 mm^2), located at the constant eccentricity of 100 mm and carrying an initial stress of 1000 N/mm^2. The span of the beam is 15 m. Calculate the percentage loss of stress in wires at the age of 3 months, if the beam is loaded at 28 days, M 40, Es =210 kN/mm^2, Ec =35 kN/mm^2, Initial prestress =0.76 fp, Slip at anchorage =1.5 mm, Coefficient
for wave effect =0.0018 per m, Coefficient of friction =0.55, RH =50%.
