    The three methods of analysis for prestressed members under flexure are: 1. Basic concept method, which directly computes concrete fiber stresses from external forces of prestressing and loads. Equations are modified to calculate stresses at prestressing and service loads. 2. C-Line method, which analyzes the beam as if it were reinforced concrete using statics principles. Prestressing force is considered an external compression force to maintain equilibrium. 3. Load-balancing method, which utilizes the vertical force of harped or draped prestressing tendons to counteract gravity loads on continuous beams. Horizontal prestressing force is used to compute midspan stresses.

    Basic Concepts of Prestressed Concrete

    • Prestressing force P that satisfies the particular conditions of geometry and loading of a given element
    Fig is determined from the principles of mechanics and of stress-strain relationships. Sometimes
    simplification is necessary, as when a prestressed beam is assumed to be homogenous and elastic.

    • Consider, then, a simply supported rectangular beam subjected to a concentric prestressing force P as
    shown in Fig. The compressive stress on the beam cross section is uniform and has an intensity.

    • Consider, then, a simply supported rectangular beam subjected to a concentric prestressing force P as
    shown in Fig. The compressive stress on the beam cross section is uniform and has an intensity of:

    Basic Concept Method

    • In the basic concept method of designing prestressed concrete elements, the concrete fiber stresses
    are directly computed from the external forces applied to the concrete by longitudinal prestressing and
    the extreme transverse load.

    • Equations on previous slide can be modified and simplified for use in calculating stresses at the initial
    prestressing stage and at service load levels.

    • If is the initial prestressing force before stress losses, and is the effective prestressing force after
    losses, then

    Y=Pe/Pi

    can be defined as the residual prestress factor.

    Substituting r2 for Ig/Ac in previous equations

    a) Prestressing Force Only

    Ft=-Pi/Ac (1- ect/r2)


    Fb=-Pi/Ac(1+ ecb/r2)

    b) Prestressing Plus Self-weight


    • If the beam self-weight causes a moment at the section under consideration, the revised
    equations become:
    Ft=-Pi/Ac (1- ect/r2) – Md/st
    Fb=-Pi/Ac(1+ ecb/r2)+ Md/sb
    • The change in eccentricity from the midspan to the support section is obtained by raising the
    prestressing tendon either abruptly from the midspan to the support, a process called harping,
    or gradually form, a process called draping.
    • Fig shows a harped profile usually used for pretensioned beams and for concentrated
    transverse loads.
    • Fig shows a draped tendon usually used in the posttensioning method.

    • Subsequent to erection and installation of the floor or deck, live loads act on the structure,
    causing a superimposed moment .
    • The full intensity of such loads normally occurs after the building is completed and some time-
    dependent losses in prestress have already taken place.
    • Hence, the prestressing force used in the stress equations would have to be effective
    prestressing force .
    • If the total moment due to gravity loads is M T , then
    MT=MD+MSD+ML
    MD= Moment due to self-weight,
    MSD = Moment due to superimposed dead load, such as flooring,
    ML = Moment due to live load, including impact and seismic loads

    Ft=-Pi/Ac (1- ect/r2) – MT/st


    Fb=-Pi/Ac(1+ ecb/r2)+ MT/sb
    C-Line Method.
    • In this line-of-pressure or thrust concept, the beam is analysed as if it were a plain concrete
    elastic beam using the basic principles of statics.
    • The prestressing force is considered an external compressive force, with a constant tensile
    force T in the tendon throughout the span. In this manner, the effects of external gravity loads
    are disregarded. Equilibrium equations ∑ H= 0 and ∑M = 0 are applied to maintain equilibrium in
    the section.
    • Fig shows the relative line of action of the compressive force C and the tensile force T in a
    reinforced concrete beam as compared to that in a prestressed concrete beam.
    • It is plain that in a RC beam, T can have a finite value only when transverse and other external
    loads act. The moment arm a remains basically constant throughout the elastic loading history
    of the reinforced concrete beam while it changes from a value a = 0 at prestressing to a
    maximum at full superimposed load.
    Taking a free-body diagram of a segment of a beam as in Fig, it is evident that the C-line, or
    centre-of-pressure line, is at a varying distance a from the T-line. The moment is given by

    The moment is given by:


    M=ca=Ta
    And the eccentricity e is known or predetermined
    e’=a-e
    since a=M/T
    e’=M/T –e
    • But in the tendon the force T equals the prestressing force
    Ft =- Pe/Ac- pee’ct/Ic
    Fb=- Pe/Ac+ pee’cb/Ic
    Since Ic=Acr2
    Ft =- Pe/Ac(1+e’ct/r2)
    Fb=- Pe/Ac(1-e’cb/r2)

    Load-Balancing Method:
    • A third useful approach in the design (analysis) of continuous prestressed beams is the load-
    balancing method.
    • This technique is based on utilizing the vertical force of the draped or harped prestressing
    tendon to counteract or balance the imposed gravity loading to which a beam is subjected.
    • Hence, it is applicable to non-straight prestressing tendons.
    • Fig demonstrates the balancing forces for both harped- and draped-tendon prestressed
    beams.
    • The load balancing reaction R is equal to the vertical component of the prestressing force P.
    • The horizontal component of P, as an approximation in long-span beams, is taken to be equal
    to the full force P in computing the concrete fiber stresses at midspan of the simply supported
    beam.
    • At other sections, the actual horizontal component of P is used.

    Load-Balancing Distributed Loads & Parabolic Tendon Profile


    Ax2+Bx+C=Y

    And for x=L/2


    Y=a A=4a/l 2
    But from calculus, the load intensity is
    q=T α2y/ αx2
    finding T α2y/ αx2 in equation and further substituting, we get
    q=T 4a/l2 *2=8Ta/l2
    Hence, in parabolic profiled tendon in prestressed beam, the balanced load intensity will be:
    Wb=8p/l2
