A rectangular pretensioned concrete beam is to be designed to carry superimposed dead and live load of 4.38kNm and 14.59kNm respectively on a 12m simple s?an. Straight tendons will be used. Time-dependent losses will be approximately 16% of the initial stress in the steel. Use ACI and NSCP provisions for allowable stresses. Concrete sirength used will be fc=34.5MPa,0.82ff=1,153.54MPa,fci=27.6MPa and Ao=31.67mm2
a. Determine the required seclion moduli at the top and bottom fibers of the beam.
b. Deterinine the concrete dimensions (use h=2.5b, symmetrical rectangular section) based on the max section modulus.
c. Calculate the required initial prestress force.
d. What is the required constant eccentricity?
e. Calculate the number of tendons using a 6.35mm diameter wire.
f. Check the stresses at top & bottom for + Self-wt.
g. Check the stresses at top & bottom for Pefi + Full Service Load.
The 1-Beam shown is to carry a superimposeci cead toac of 5.03kNm and service live load of 17.8kNm in addition to its own weight of 3.72kNm. It is to be built of concrete with fc'=35MPa and is prestrossed using tendons with fPU=1,860MPa to an effective force Pe=1,231kN. Find the required spacing of vertical U-stirrups at a point 3.0mts from the left support, if fy for the stirrup steel is 275.6MPa. Take I0=10.1109mm4.Ac=158103mm2 and r2=64103mm2)
