Question: H . W No . 1 : A pretension beam is to carry a superimposed dead load of 8 . 7 5 k N m

H.W No.1: A pretension beam is to carry a superimposed dead load of 8.75kNm, self-weight of 9.46kNm and service live load of 175kNm an a 16.8m simple span. Asymmetrical I-section with b=0.5h will be used. Flange thickness hf=0.2h and web width bw=0.4b. The member will be prestressed using strands having fpu=1862MPa. Time dependent losses are estimated at 20% of Pi,fc=34.5MPa,fci=20.7MPa. Using straight strands, find the required concrete dimensions, prestress force and eccentricity. Select on appropriate No. of 12.7mm;7 wire strand (92.9mm2 for each strand)
