Problem 1. A post tensioned concrete T beam has a flange width of 508 mm and is 76 mm thick. The web is 127 mm wide and 533 mm deep below the flange. The prestressing cable 968 sq mm is 101 mm above bottom of web. Initial prestress is 1034 MPa. The beam is 9.1 m long on a simple span and is to carry a load of 11.67 KN/m. If prestressing losses amount to 15%, check the stresses at transfer and at working. Draw stress diagrams.
Problem 2. If losses are neglected in the beam in Problem 1, what will be the resulting stresses at transfer and at working? Draw the stress diagrams.
