This document contains 4 problems related to pre-stressed concrete design. Problem 1 calculates stresses in concrete after prestressing a rectangular beam with high tensile wire. Problem 2 calculates stresses if the wire is eccentrically placed. Problem 3 calculates stresses in a beam with many eccentrically placed wires. Problem 4 checks stresses at transfer and working for a post-tensioned T-beam with a cable above the web. The problems were submitted as part of a pre-stressed concrete design course.

DATE OF SUBMISSION: 08 FEBRUARY 2020


Problem 1. A pre-tensioned concrete member has a rectangular section 203 mm x
305 mm. It is concentrically prestressed with 516 sq mm of high tensile wire,
which is anchored to the bulkheads at a unit stress of 1034 MPa. Compute the
stresses in concrete immediately after prestressing. The beam is supported
throughout its length.
Problem 2. What would be the stresses in the beam in #1 if the center of the
prestressing wire was 100 mm above the bottom of the beam?
Problem 3. A rectangular section prestressed concrete beam is 228 mm x 635 mm.
It is stressed by 75 wires 5 mm in diameter having an eccentricity of 200 mm.
The final prestress of the wire is 655 MPa. If maximum moment due to LL and DL
is 305 KN-m, find the stresses in the concrete.
Problem 4. A post tensioned concrete T beam has a flange width of 508 mm and is
76 mm thick. The web is 127 mm wide and 533 mm deep below the flange. The
prestressing cable 968 sq mm is 101 mm above bottom of web. Initial prestress
is 1034 MPa. The beam is 9.1 m long on a simple span and is to carry a load of
11.67 KN/m. If prestressing losses amount to 15%, check the stresses at
transfer and at working.
