2012)
Here,
A = area of the precast web
c = distance of edge from CGC of precast web
/
c = distance of edge from CGC of composite section
e = eccentricity of CGS
I = moment of inertia of the precast web
/
I = moment of inertia of the composite section.
5. What is circular prestressing?(NOV-DEC 2010)

The term refers to prestressing in round members such as tanks and pipes.
Liquid retaining structures such as circular pipes,tanks and pressure vessels are
admirably suited for circular prestressing.
6. What are the advantages of prestressed concrete sleepers?(NOV-DEC 2010)

It is economical.
Full cross-section of member is utilized.
Increases durability.
Reduces corrosion of steel.
Increase in shear capacity.
Larger spans can be constructed.
It allows rapid construction.
Part B
1. A precast pre-tensioned beam of rectangular section has a breadth of 100 mm and

a depth of 200 mm. The beam with an effective span of 5 m is prestressed by
tendons with their centroid coinciding with the bottom kern. The initial force in
the tendons is 150 kN. The loss of prestress may be assumed to be 157%. The
beam is incorporated in a composite T-beam by casting a top flange of breath 400
mm and t = 400 mm. If a composite beam supports a live load of 1 kN/m.
Calculate the resultant stresses developed in precast & in-situ cast concrete.
(NOV-DEC 2009)
Stress in pre tensioned beam:
A = 20000mm2
Z = (100x2002)/6 = 666.67x103mm2
Self weight of pre tensioned beam = 0.1x0.2x24 = 0.48kN/m
Self weight moment = (0.48x52)/8 = 1.5kNm
Stress at top & bottom = (1.5x106/666.67x103) = 2.25N/mm2
Stress in cast insitu slab:
A = 16000mm2
Z = (400x402)/6 = 10.6x103mm2
Self weight of pre tensioned beam = 0.4x0.04x24 = 3.84kN/m
Self weight moment = (0.348x52)/8 = 1.2kNm
Stress at top & bottom = (1.2x106/10.6x103) = 1.13N/mm2
Stress in composite member
Ixx = (400x403)/12 - (300x2003)/12 = 1.9x109mm4

Zt= (1.9x109)/233.3 = 8.14x106mm2
Zb = (1.9x109)/366.7 = 5.18x106mm2
Live load moment = (1x52)/8 = 2.08kNm
Stress at top = (2.08x106/8.14x106) = 0.25N/mm2
Stress at bottom = (2.08x106/5.18x106) = 0.45N/mm2
2. A composite T-girder of span 5 m is made up of a pre-tensioned rib, 100 mm wide
by 200 mm depth, with an in situ cast slab, 400 mm wide and 40 mm thick. The
rib is prestressed by a straight cable having an eccentricity of 33.33 mm and
carrying initial force of, 150 kN. The loss of prestress is 15%. Check the
composite T-beam for the limit state of deflection if its supports an imposed load
of 3.2 kN/m for (i) unpropped(ii) propped. Assume modulus of Elasticity of 35
kN/mm2 for both precast & in situ cast elements.(NOV-DEC 2009)
Properties of precast prestressed beam
A = 20000 mm2
g = 0.1x0.2x24 = 0.48 kN/m
I = (100x2003)/12 = 66.66x106 mm4
Properties of composite section
A = 16000 mm2
g = 0.04x0.4x24 = 0.384 kN/m
yb = 146mm
yt = 94mm
I = 226x106 mm4
Deflection of prestressed beam
ap = (pel2)/(8EI) = -6.69mm(upward)
Deflection of composite beam due to self weight
ag+q = (5wl4)/(384EI)
q = 8kN/m
g = (0.48 + 0.384) = 0.864kN/m
w = (g+q) = 0.864+8 = 8.864kN/m

ag+q = 9.12mm
Long term deflection
aRL = (1+)( a p + ag+q) = (1+1.6)(0.85(-6.69)+9.12) = 8.99mm
Permissible limit according to IS 1343,
Span/250 = 5000/250 = 20mm.
Hence the actual deflection is within the Permissible limit
3. i) Explain the types of composite construction with neat sketch. (8)
(ii) Explain the precast prestressed concrete stresses at serviceability limit state.
(8)(NOV-DEC 2012)
Limit State of Serviceability : Deflection The deflection of a structure or part
thereof shall not adversely affect the appearance or efficiency of the structure or
finishes or partitions. The deflection shall generally be limited to the following:
a) The final deflection, due to all loads including the effects of temperature, creep
and shrinkage and measured from the as-cast level of the supports of floors, roofs
and all other horizontal members, should not normally exceed span/250.
b) The deflection including the effects of temperature, creep and shrinkage
occurring after erection of partitions and the application of finishes should not
normally exceed span/350 or 20 mm whichever is less.
c) If finishes are to be applied to prestressed concrete members, the total upward
deflection should not exceed span/300, unless uniformity of camber between
adjacent units can be ensured.
Limit State of Serviceability : Cracking Cracking of concrete shall not affect
the appearance or durability of the structure. The criteria of limit state of cracking
for the three types of prestressed concrete members shall be as follows:
a) For type 1, no tensile stresses.
b) For type 2, tensile stresses are allowed but no visible cracking.
c) For type 3, cracking is allowed, but should not affect the
appearance or durability of the structure; the acceptable limits of cracking would

vary with the type of structure and environment and will vary between wide limits
and the prediction of absolute maximum width is not possible.
4. (a) What are shear connectors? Explain the different types of shear connectors in
detail.
(b) A PSC beam of cross section 150 mm x 300 mm is SS over a 6pan of 8m and
is prestressed by means of symmetric parabolic cables @ a distance of 76 mm
from the soffit @ mid span and 125 mm @ top @ support section. If the force in
the cable ie 350 KN. Calculate deflection @ midspan the beam is supporting its
own weight The point load which must be applied at midspan to restore the beam
to the level of its support. (8)(NOV-DEC 2010)
5. A composite T-section is made up of a pretension rib 100 mm wide and 200 mm
deep and a cast in situ slab 400 mm wide and 40 mm thick baring a modulus of
elasticity of 28 kN/mm2. lf the differential shrinkage is 100x104 units. Determine
the shrinkage stresses developed in the precast and cast in situ units. (16)(NOV-
DEC 2010)
Properties of composite section
A = 36000 mm2
Yt = ((400x40x20)+(200x100x140))/36000 = 86.66mm
Yb = 153.33mm
Ixx = (400x2403)/12 - (300x2003)/12 = 260x106mm4
Zt= (260x106)/86.67 = 3x106mm2
Zb = (260x106)/153.33 = 1.7x106mm2
Zj = (260x106)/40 = 6.5x106mm2
Uniform tensile stress in cast insitu slab = ecs.Ec = 100x10-6x28x103 = 2.8 N/mm2
Pre stressing force = ecs.Ec.A = 2.8x16000 = 44.8kN
Eccentricity of force =86.67-20 = 66.67mm
Moment = 44.8x103x66.67 = 2.99x106Nmm
Direct compressive stress = 44.8/36000 = 1.24 N/mm2
Bending stress:
Stress at top = (2.99x106/3x106) = 0.9N/mm2
Stress at bottom = (2.99x106/1.7x106) = 1.75N/mm2
Stress at junction = (2.99x106/ 6.5x106) = 0.46N/mm2
Shrinkage stresses:
a. In PSC beam
At top = 1.24+0.46 = 1.7 N/mm2
At bottom = 1.24 1.75 = -0.55 N/mm2
b. In insitu slab
At top = 1.24+0.99-2.8 = -0.57 N/mm2
At bottom = 1.24 +0.36 -2.8 = -1.2 N/mm2
