Given: A prestressed simply supported I-beam with cross section shown has a span of 200 ft , and is
subjected to self-weight of 1,240 plf.
Concrete:
fc=10,000 at shipping and final
fci=8,000 at release of prestress
fc=0.45fc allowable compressive stress
fc=0.6fci allowable compressive stress
ft=12fc'2 allowable tensile stress
Prestressing Strands:
fpu=270,000- ultimate strength
fpj=202,500- at jacking
fpe=145,000- at final after losses
Aps=0.217in2 per strand
Section properties are:
d (girder depth)=100.0 in
Ag=1082.78in2
Ig=1524912.4in4
ybb=48.274 in.-cgc to bot.
yt=51.726 in.-cgc to top
Sb=31588.9 in ?3
St=29480.4in3
Determine:
Use 52-0.6 in. strands (38 straight, 14 harped) for the reminder of the problem
Transfer and development lengths of strands and stress diagram
(10 points)
Strand stress at 24 in . and at 48 in . from the end of beam
For pretensioned beam:
Prestress losses due to elastic shortening
Prestress Losses due to creep
Prestress losses due to shrinkage
Prestress losses due to relaxation of steel
For post-tensioned beam:
Elastic shortening losses if strands were jacked in 4 equal sequences (10 points)
Prestress losses due to anchor set of 0.375 in.
Prestress losses due friction if polyethylene ducts were used
Draw initial and final stress diagram with PT from one end
(10 points)
