PROBLEMS 5.1 A post-tensioned bonded prestressed beam has the cross section shown in Figure P5.1. It has a span of
75ft(22.9m)
and is subjected to a service superimposed dead load
W_(SD)=450
plf
k(N)/(m)
and a superimposed service live load
W_(L)=2,300
plf
(33.6k(N)/(m))
. Design the web rein- forcement necessary to prevent shear cracking (a) by the detailed design method and (b) by the alternative method at a section
15ft(4.6m)
from the face of the support. The profile of the pre- stressing tendon is parabolic. Use #3 stirrups in your design, and detail the section. The following data are given: )
