Question: Fig P 1 0 . 3 shows a typical interior region of a prestressed concrete floor that a to be designed as a flat plate,

Fig P10.3 shows a typical interior region of a prestressed concrete floor that a to be designed as a flat plate, using unbonded post-tensioned tendons. There will be column capitals or dropped panels. Service live load is 80 psf, dead load consists of self-weight plus 20 psf superimposed. (a) Find the required slab thickness, tendon profile, required prestress force per ft, and spacing of tendons in the colume sad middle strips. A two-way banded tendon arrangement is specified Prestress should be based on a balanced load consisting of self weight plus superimposed dead load (b) Find the concrete stresses at all critical sections resulting from applicanom of dead plus service live load. (c) Determine the size, spacing, and length of all required non-prestressed bonded flexural steel (d) Check the flexural strength of the slab, and modify the design, if necessary Note that, according to ACI Code, if the
line load does not exceed three-fourths of the dead load, m moments may be anned to occur at all with des entire slab system. (e) Check for shear transfer at a typical panel reinforcement a required, use 45 degree bent bus (se Ref. 19341)( deffection at the center of a typical panel when the full service live load is in place?
Tendons will be 0.500-in diameter Grade 250 unbonded strands and f'c=5,000 psi and f'ci=3,500 psi Assume 20 percent time dependent loss.FIGURE P10.3
