an eccentricity of 150 mm at the centre of span and zero at the supports. The live
load on the beam is 2.5kN/m.

live loads on the beam
(ii) Calculate and sketch the shift of the pressure line at quarter span and
mid span sections of the beam.

of 20m is prestressed by successive tensioning and anchoring of three cables A,B
and C. Cable A is parabolic with an eccentricity of 100mm above the centroidal axis
at support and 100mm below the centroidal axis at midspan.Cable B is also
parabolic with zero eccentricity at the support and 100mm below the centroidal axis
at the centre of the span.Cable C is straight and is kept 100mm below the centroidal
axis The cables are tensioned one-by-one in the order A,B and C. Determine the
loss in prestress in the cablesdue to elastic shortening of concrete for the following

as a part of a composite beam to span 6 m. This unit is prestressed by tendons with
their centroid coinciding with the bottom kern point. The initial force in the tendon is
240 kN. The loss of prestress may be assumed to be 15%. The unit is incorporated
as the web of a composite T beam by casting slab of flange of width 480 mm and
thickness 40 mm. If the composite beam supports a live load of 4 kN/m, calculate
the resultant stresses developed in precast and in situ cast concrete assuming the
pretensioned unit as unpropped while casting the in situ slab. The ratio of modulus
of elasticity between the precast beam and cast in situ slab is 1.25
c Design a precast pretensioned inverted T section to be used in a composite slab of 8

at transfer and the tensile stress under working loads may be assumed to be 20 and
