CE (PE) 702A Assignment CA2

This document is a report on prestressed concrete from the Department of Civil Engineering at Asansol Engineering College. It includes two questions about prestressed concrete beams: 1) calculating the eccentricity required for a prestressing force to result in zero stress at the beam center, and 2) calculating prestress loss from elastic concrete deformation in a beam with wires at different locations. The report attempts to answer both questions posed about prestressed concrete beams.

Subject: Prestressed Concrete-CE(PE)702A
4th Year,7th Sem

Attempts all the questions

1. A prestressed concrete beam supports a live load of 4 kN/m over a simply supported span of
8 m. The beam has an I-section with an overall depth of 400 mm. The thickness of the flange
and web are 60 and 80 mm, respectively. The width of the flange is 200mm. The beam is to
be prestressed by an effective prestressing force of 235 kN at a suitable eccentricity such that
the resultant stress at the soffit of the beam at the centre of the span is zero.
a) Find the eccentricity required for the force.
b) If the tendon is concentric, what should be the magnitude of the prestressing force for
the resultant stress to be zero at the bottom fibre of the central span section.
2. A rectangular concrete beam, 400 mm deep and 300 mm wide is prestressed by means of 12,
6 mm diameter wires located 55 mm from the bottom of the beam and four 6 mm wires,
located 25 mm from the top of the beam. If the wires are initially tensioned to a stress of 950
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.
