    The document discusses prestressed concrete beams. It defines prestressing losses due to creep and anchorage slip. It provides an example where a concrete beam is prestressed by 7 wires at an eccentricity of 50mm with an initial stress of 1200 N/mm^2. It asks to calculate prestressing loss due to creep using ultimate creep strain and creep coefficient methods. It also asks about pressure/thrust lines in prestressed beams.
