1. The beam shown is prestressed by using a bonded (stress relieved tendons) with a specified tensile
strength of prestressing tendons strength f pu=1350 MPa, f c ' =35 MPa. The area of prestressed
reinforcement in tension zone A ps =1000 mm2. The specific yield strength of prestressing tendons
f py=1160 MPa.

a) What is the value of the stress in prestressed reinforcement at nominal strength


b) What is the value of the depth of the compression block.
c) What is the ultimate moment capacity of the prestressed beam.

2. A prestressed T-beam shown which is reinforced with a bonded tendon having an area A ps =1580
mm2, f c ' =34.5 MPa, f pu=1862 MPa, and the effective stress after losses , f se=1102 MPa , f py=1713
MPa. Span of beam is 6 m.
