Question: A rectangular beam of span 1 0 m is 2 0 0 mm wide and 4 5 0 mm deep. The beam is prestressed by

A rectangular beam of span 10 m is 200 mm wide and 450 mm deep. The beam is prestressed by a parabolic cable having an eccentricity of 100 mm below the central axis at mid span and 25 mm above the centroidal line at support section. The beam carries an UDL of 10kNm,Ec=38kNmm2
a) Estimate the short term deflection neglecting the loss of pres'ress.
b) Estimate the long term deflection assuming the loss of prestress as 15%. Assume the creep co efficient as 1.8.
