A simply supported pre-stressed concrete beam(PSC) of span 6 m is of 1-section, having a overall depth of beam to be 300 mm . The top and bottom flange is 250mmx50 mm and 300mm60mm respectively. The width of the web is of 60 mm . It is provided with 20 wires of 2.5 mm diameter and 40 wires 2.5 mm diameter placed centrally in the top and bottom flange respectively. The beam has to suppor a superimposed load of 2KNm, in addition to its own weight. Determine the stress distribution for the midspan section during transfer of prestress and after the action of superimposed The initial prestress in the wires is 1200Nmm2.
