Question: Can l get clear answer..? A post - tensioned cable of a beam 1 2 m long, 3 5 0 m m width, and 7

Can l get clear answer..? A post-tensioned cable of a beam 12m long, 350mm width, and 700mm depth is initially tensioned to a stress of 1200Nmm2Nmm2 at one end. If the tendons are curved so that the slope is 1 in 15 at each end with an area of 600mm2, given the following data:
Relaxation of steel stress =4.5% of initial stress
The coefficient of friction between duct and cable =0.55
Creep Coefficient =1.8
Modulus of elasticity for steel =220GPa
Modulus of elasticity for concrete =38GPa
Friction coefficient for wave effect =0.0015m
Shrinkage strain in concrete for post tensioning =220106
During anchoring, if there is a slip of 3mm at the jacking end.
Calculate the total percentage loss of stress in the wires at top and bottom. Assume the beam is a post tension beam and all the wires stressed simultaneously.
