SITUATION: The prestressed concrete beam shown is used in a bridge with a simple span of 9 m. Superimposed Dead load and Live load are 16.5kN/m and 18.1kN/m, respectively. The prestressing tendons are placed at a distance "e" below the neutral axis of the beam all throughout the span and the applied prestressing force is 1875kN. There is a 15% loss of prestress at service loads. Assume I=38.105×10?9mm4 Specific Gravity of Concrete is 2.4. Area =400,000mm?2
When e =345mm, what is the stress at the Top Fiber of the beam at the midspan due to initial prestressing force only. (Write Absolute Value) When e =345mm, what is the stress in the Bottom Fiber (in MPa) of the beam at the endspan due to initial prestressing force only. (Write Absolute Value) When e =345mm, what is the stress in the Top Fiber (in MPa) of the beam at the end-span due to service loads and prestressing force. (Write Absolute Value) When e =345mm, what is the stress in the Top Fiber (in MPa) of the beam at the mid-span due to service loads and prestressing force. (Write Absolute Value)
