Question: In a light industrial building, a simply supported rectangular Precast Prestressed Concrete Beam ( PPCB ) of 6 0 0 m m width x 4
In a light industrial building, a simply supported rectangular Precast Prestressed Concrete Beam PPCB of width depth and spanning is supporting Precast Pretensioned HollowCore Slab HCS thick with span length Assume all the concrete grade used is C to Eurocode design. The support condition is unpropped. The stages of construction for the PPCB at critical midspan are shown below in Figure Q:
aStage : Construction Stage
Placement of HCS on the rectangular PPCB and casting of concrete infill into the HCS
Unfactored selfweight of HCS
Including cast insitu infill
& construction live loadskPa
Unfactored selfweight of the PPCB
bStage : FinalServiceOperation
Stage
Placement of superimposed dead load SDL due to partition, finishes, M&E services on kPa
Live Load kPa
Figure Q Midspan Section View of a Construction Stage and b Final Stage of a composite PPCB with effective width of flange built from HCS
The sectional properties at midspan are shown below:
Moment of inertia of the rectangular PPCB
Distance from centroid of rectangular PPCB to soffit bottommost fiber of the beam,
Moment of inertia of the composite PPCB
Distance from centroid of the composite PPBC to soffit bottommost fiber of the beam,
It is given that the composite PPCB has a final stress after accounting for prestress losses at its bottom fibre of compression and topmost fibre of tension
a Show that the Stage and Stage service moment due to loadings acting at midspan of the PPCB are for Stage and for Stage
