Question: A PSC beam, 2 0 0 m m wide and 3 5 0 m m deep is used over an effective span of 6 .

A PSC beam, 200mm wide and 350mm deep is used over an effective span of 6.0m to support an imposed load of 4.5kNm. At the quarter span section of the beam, find the magnitude of,
(i) The concentric pre-stressing force necessary for zero fiber stress at the soffit when the beam is fully loaded.
(ii) The eccentric pre-stressing force located at 110mm from the bottom of the beam which would nullify the bottom fiber stress due to loading.
A PSC beam, 2 0 0 m m wide and 3 5 0 m m deep is
