Question: Plot the tendon force variation graph using excel sheet A four - span post - tensioned one - way floor slab is described in Fig.

Plot the tendon force variation graph using excel sheet A four-span post-tensioned one-way floor slab is described in Fig. 2-30. The tendons are stressed from both ends and the stressing procedure is: jack to 80% of the ultimate tensile strength (UTS), release to 60% UTS, rejack to 70% UTS, and anchor. Assuming that /L ==0.25, K =0.0015/ft (0.005/m), calculate (a) the tendon force at 1.44,2.0,2.5, and 3.0 and (b) the average tendon force in each span. Express the forces as a ratio of the UTS of the tendon. Assume that the anchor set is negligibly small. parabolic segments 1.5 ft 3 in.1.5 ft (0.46 m)(76 mm)(0.46 m)2.5 in.(4.27 m) centerline 1.03 in.(76 mm)9 in.(229 mm)3 in.(76 mm)1.01.442.02.5!3.0414 ft 18 ft (64 mm)(5.49 m)16 ft 16 ft (4.88 m)(4.88 m)
