Question: Determine M n for the partially prestressed beam section shown below. Use f ' ? c = 5 0 0 0 , strand f p

Determine Mn for the partially prestressed beam section shown below. Use f'?c=5000, strand fpu=270ksi and fpe=0.55fpu, and fpy=0.85fpu, and nonprestressed bars fy=60ksi. The area of prestressing steel is Aps=0.918in2 from 6-12" diameter 7-wire strands, and the area of nonprestressed reinforcement As=1.2in2 from 2 No.7 reinforcing bars. The effective depth of the prestressing steel dp and mild steel ds and width b are shown in the figure below. Assume that the prestressing steel is fully bonded. Is the flexural capacity adequate if the factored load moment Mu=310ft-kips? (50)
Aps=0.918in2,fpe=148.5ksi
dp=20.75infpu=270ksi
As=1.2in2,fpy=229.5ksi
ds=21.5in,fy=60ksi
,fc'=5ksi
dt=22in(ACl),
Strands layout: 2 strands at 2 in,2 strands at 4 in, and 2 strands draped at 4.375 in from bottom fiber
