    This document contains 6 assignments related to prestressed concrete structures. The assignments involve calculating: 1. The position of the pressure line in a prestressed concrete beam given its dimensions, applied load, and prestressing force. 2. The percentage loss of stress in steel immediately after transfer for a prestressed concrete beam given the wire specifications and material properties. 3. The loss of stress in prestressing cables for a post-tensioned concrete beam due to elastic deformation of concrete, for both simultaneous and successive tensioning of the cables. 4. The stresses at the center of a prestressed concrete beam with an unsymmetrical I-section under different load combinations. 5. The stresses at the

    Assignments
    **Add in your role number for all numeric values given with the same unit of measurement.
    1. A prestressed concrete beam of rectangular cross-section of 150mm × 350mm (bxh)
    supports a uniformly distributed load of 5.0 kN/m including the self weight. The effective
    span of the beam is 10.0 m. The beam is prestressed by a concentric cable carrying a force
    of 180 kN. Locate the position of the pressure line in the beam.

    2. A rectangular concrete beam 360mm deep and 200mm wide is pretressed by means of 15
    wires of 5.0 mm diameter located at 65.0 mm from the bottom of the beam and 5 wires of
    5.0 mm diameter, located at 25mm depth from the top the beam. If the wires are initially
    tensioned to a stress of 840 N/mm², calculate the percentage loss of stress in steel
    immediately after transfer, allowing for the loss of stress due to elastic deformation of
    concrete only. Ep = 210 kN/m2 and Ec = 31.5 kN/m2.

    3. A post-tensioned concrete beam 100mm wide and 300mm deep is prestressed by three
    cables, each with a cross-sectional area of 50mm² and with an initial prestress of 1200
    N/mm2. All the cables are straight and located 100mm from the soffit of the beam. If the
    modular ratio is 6.0, calculate the loss of stress in the three cables due to elastic deformation
    of concrete for only the following cases.

    a. Simultaneous tensioning and anchoring of all the three cables: and

    b. Successive tensioning of the three cables, one at a time.

    4. An unsymmetrical I-section beam is used to support an imposed load of 5.0 kN/m over a
    span of 10.0 m. The details of the section are: Top flange; width = 300mm, thickness =
    60mm; Bottom flange; width = 150mm, thickness = 60mm. The web thickness = 80mm.
    The overall depth of the beam = 400mm. At the center of the span, if the eccentricity of the
    100 kN prestressing force is 50mm from the soffit of the beam, estimate the stresses at the
    centre of span section of the beam for following load combinations.
    a. (i) Prestress + self weight

    b. (ii) Prestress + self weight + live load.

    5. A rectangular beam of cross-section 300mm deep and 200mm wide is prestressed by means
    of 15 wires of 5mm diameter at 65mm from the bottom and 3 wires of 5.0 mm diameter at
    25mm from the top. Assuming the prestress in steel as 840N/mm², calculate the stress at
    the extreme fibers of the mid-span section when the beam is supporting its own weight aver
    a span of 6.0 m. If a uniformly distributed live load of 6.0 kN/m is imposed, evaluate the
    maximum working stress in concrete. Density of concrete is 24 kN/m³.

    6. A post-tensioned beam 100 mm × 300 mm (b × h) spanning over 10 m is stressed by


    successive tensioning and anchoring of 3 cables A, B, and C respectively as shown in
    figure. Each cable has cross section area of 200 mm2 and has initial stress of 1200 MPa. If
    the cables are tensioned from one end, estimate the percentage loss in each cable due to
    friction at the anchored end. Assume μ = 0.35, k = 0.0015 / m.
