I need the solution for this. A section at mid-span for a post-tensioned prestressed concrete beam class 2 is shown in Fig.
Q5. The beam is simply supported over a 25 m span and carries a characteristic imposed load
of 9 kN/m in addition to the self-weight. The beam is prestressed with four cables, two of
which are curved upwards at the support. Given that fcu,28=50 N/mm2, fcu,14=35 N/mm2,
losses of prestress at transfer and at service load are 10% & 25%. Calculate:
(a) section properties;
(b) optimum section moduli at mid-span if the self-weight acts when the cables are stressed;
(c) The eccentricity of the prestressing force, to satisfy the tensile stress restraint at service
load if Pi =2500 kN.
(d) The fibre stresses at transfer and service load if the practical eccentricity ep =440 mm.
(e) With e =440 mm, determine the limits of the prestressing force.
(f) With Pi =2500 kN, determine the limits of the eccentricity.
