(a) Explain the techniques of pre -tensioning.
(Or)
(b) Describe briefly about systems of post tensioning.
(a) A concrete beam of dimension 100mm300mm is post-tensioned with 5 straight wires of 7mm diameter. The average prestress after short-term losses is 0.7fpk=1200Nmm2 and the age of loading is given as 28 days. Given that Ep =200103MPa,Ec=35000MPa, find out the losses of prestress due to creep, shrinkage and relaxation. Neglect the weight of the beam in the computation of the stresses.
(Or)
(b) Elaborate about the effects of long-term deflection of prestressed concrete members due to creep and shrinkage.
(a) A pre stressed concrete T section has 1800mm200mm flange. 450mm1500mm rib and 100 nos of 8mm HTS wires are located at 1600mm from the top of flange. Estimate the flexural strength of the beam using M40 grade concrete and Fe1600 grade steel.
(Or)
(b) The support section of a pre-stressed concrete beam 100mm wide and 250mm deep is required to support an ultimate shear force of 60kN. The compressive pre-stress at the centroidal axis is 5Nmm2. The characteristics cube strength of concrete is 40Nmm2. The cover to the tension reinforcement is 50mm. If the characteristic tensile strength of steel in stirrups is 250Nmm2. Design suitable reinforcement at the section using IS 1343 recommendations.
14.(a) Design a cylindrical prestressed concrete water tank to suit the following data: Capacity of tank =24500106 litres. Maximum compressive stress in concrete at transfer not to exceed 13Nmm2(compression). Minimum compressive stress under working load to be 1Nmm2. The prestress is to be provided by circumferential winding of 7mm dia with an initial stress of 1000Nmm2 and by vertical cables of 12 wires of 8mm diameter which are stressed to 1200Nmm2. Loss ratio =0.75. The cube strength of concrete is 40Nmm2. Design the walls of the tank and details of circumferential wire winding and vertical cables for the following joint condition at the base: elastomeric pads (assume coefficient of friction as 0.5).
(Or)
(b) A prestressed concrete pipe of 1.2m diameter, having a core thickness of 75mm is required to withstand a service pressure intensity of 1.2Nmm2. Estimate the pitch of 5mm diameter high tensile wire winding if the initial stress is limited to 1000Nmm2. Permissible stresses in concrete being 12Nmm2 in compression and zero in tension. The loss ratio is 0.8, if the direct tensile strength of concrete is 2.5Nmm2, estimate load factor against cracking.
