Question: Conduct service level flexural design based on the midspan section. This member is to be designed as a class U member. Use the PCI load

Conduct service level flexural design based on the midspan section. This member is to be
designed as a class U member. Use the PCI load table in Fig. 3 to choose a preliminary section
geometry. Assume the maximum practical tendon eccentricity is at 3 in. from the bottom of the
section. Construct the feasible domain to select the least number of strands needed and
corresponding tendon eccentricity. If the tensile stress at prestress transfer exceeds the
allowable limit, mild steel reinforcement may be added to compensate the tensile stresses,
however, all other allowable stress limits must be met. (20 pts)
