Question: Given: A prestressed simply supported I - beam with cross section shown has a span of 2 0 0 ft , and is subjected to
Given: A prestressed simply supported Ibeam with cross section shown has a span of ft and is
subjected to selfweight of plf
Concrete:
at shipping and final
at release of prestress
allowable compressive stress
allowable compressive stress
allowable tensile stress
Prestressing Strands:
ultimate strength
at jacking
at final after losses
per strand
Section properties are:
d girder depth in
incgc to bot.
incgc to top
in
Determine:
Use in strands straight, harped for the reminder of the problem
Transfer and development lengths of strands and stress diagram
points
Strand stress at in and at 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 posttensioned beam:
Elastic shortening losses if strands were jacked in equal sequences points
Prestress losses due to anchor set of in
Prestress losses due friction if polyethylene ducts were used
Draw initial and final stress diagram with PT from one end
points
