Using the ASSHTO section configuration shown in the figure (ASSHTO Girder III), redesign the beam of Problem 2 if the span of the beam is reduced to 20.0m. Use a draped profile for the bonded tendon.
Determine the limiting envelope for the tendon location. Consider the mid-span, quarter-span, and beam ends as the controlling sections for estimating the tendon profile. Use low relaxation seven-wire strands with fpu=1860MPa.
