concrete floor joist is as shown in Figure 1 on the
board. The prestressing force in each tee is 750kN.

L=8m. The properties of the section are:

fibers due to pre-stressing force alone.
2. Determine the stress at the bottom fibers due
to service load and prestress force. Assume that
there is a loss of prestress of 20% at service loads
3. Calculate the additional load can the floor
could carry so that the stress at the bottom
fibers at midspan is zero.

effective force of 7000kN placed concentric at
supports and a sag of 800mm at midspan.
Assume unit weight of concrete = 24kN/m3

thrust line) from the centroid of the girder.

weight. Determine the following:
EXAMPLE SEC 8.3
1. The effective prestress required for the beam to
have NO DEFLECTION on the given load.
2. The stress in the bottom fiber of the section at
midspan for the above condition.
