Question: A prestressed concrete beam has a cross section B = 3 8 6 m m and H = 8 6 2 mm , spans L

A prestressed concrete beam has a cross section B=386mm and H=862 mm , spans L=6m and has tendons located h=139mm from the bottom of the beam. The characteristic compressive strength of the concrete is 40Nmm2.
Its tendons have a characteristic strength of F=1,105kN and initial prestress losses are 27%.
At TRANSFER, what is the maximum bending tensile stress induced in the beam due to its self weight (Sigma Mswt)?
Give your answer in N/mm^2 to two decimal places and do not include units in your answer. Do not include +/- signs in your answer.
