Question: A post - tensioned prestressed concrete rectangular beam 3 0 0 mm by 6 0 0 mm in dimension is to be designed for a

A post-tensioned prestressed concrete rectangular beam 300 mm by 600 mm in dimension is to be designed for a span of 7 m, to support a uniformly distributed of 1 kN/m due to floor finish, together with an imposed load of 3 kN/m. If M40 concrete is used for the beam, construct the feasibility domain and determine the minimum prestress at mid-span. The minimum cover to reinforcement is 75 mm. Use allowable stresses as per IS 1343:2012. Assume the beam to be classified as Type-I for determination of allowable stresses in tension, and Zone-I for determination of allowable stresses in compression.
