The document discusses several problems involving the design and analysis of prestressed concrete beams. It provides examples of calculating prestress forces, beam camber, concentrated loads, bending moments, stress increases in post-tensioned slabs, cracking loads, and percent loss of prestress due to elastic shortening. Parabolic and straight tendon configurations are considered, with varying eccentricities, loads, and material properties. Solutions are determined using methods like load balancing.

New Section 3 Page 6 New Section 3 Page 7 A post-tensioned concrete slab spanning in one direction over 8 m is 300 mm deep with tendons housed in ducts spaced at 200 mm centres and are located at an eccentricity of 100 mm. The slab supports a live load of 2.56 kN/m over a width of 200 mm. Calculate the increase in steel stress due to the following conditions: (a) The ducts are grouted so that the strain in steel and adjacent concrete is equal. (b) The ducts are ungrouted so that the tendons can move without friction assuming the modular ratio as six and density of concrete as 24 kN/m3.
