Question: A post tensioned prestressed concrete beam of rectangular section 1 0 0 mm wide and 3 0 0 mm deep and spanning 1 0 m
A post tensioned prestressed concrete beam of rectangular section mm wide and mm deep and spanning m is stressed by successive tensioning and anchoring of two cables numbered and respectively. The cross sectional area of each cable is sqmm and the initial stress in the cable is MPa. Modular ratio is The first cable is parabolic with an eccentricity of mm below the centroidal axis at the center of the span and mm above the centroidal axis at the support sections. The second cable is also parabolic with an eccentricity of mm towards the bottom at the center of the span and concentric at the support sections. Estimate the percentage loss of stress in each of these cables due to elastic deformation of concrete only if they are successively tensioned and anchored.
