Question: A prestressed simply supported I - beam has a span of 5 0 ft and is 3 6 in . deep. Assume center of support
A prestressed simply supported Ibeam has a span of ft and is in deep. Assume center
of support is at the beam end. Its cross section is shown in the accompanying figure.
Check all ACI allowable concrete stresses immediately after prestress transfer and
at the stage when all service loads are applied. Provide additional No mild steel rebars if the
concrete stresses exceed the allowable stresses your design needs to be justified If the location
of the neutral axis is below the top inches, conservatively assume that the width of the beam
section is constant along the height inches
