M.E STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING


EVEN SEMESTER 2022-2023
TUTORIAL-1

1. A prestressed concrete beam 250 mm wide, 350 mm deep is pre-stressed with wires (
area = 350 mm2) located at constant eccentricity of 55 mm and carrying an initial
stress of 1200 N/mm2. The span of beam is 12m. calculate the percentage loss of
stress in wires if
a) the beam is pre-tensioned b) the beam is post tensioned
where Es = 210 kN/mm2 ; Ec = 35 kN/mm2 ;
relaxation of stress in steel = 5% of initial stress ;
shrinkage of pre-tensioned concrete = 300 x 10-6 ;
shrinkage of post-tensioned concrete = 200 x 10-6
creep co-efficient = 1.6 ; slip at anchorage = 1 mm;
frictional co-efficient of wave effect = 0.0015 per m

2.A rectangular section 300 mm wide and 600 mm deep is pretensioned with 1000 mm2 of
steel wires with initial prestress of 1100 Mpa. The C.G of steel wires is at 100 mm above the
bottom fibers of the beam. Assume fp = 1500Mpa and fck = 40 Mpa. Calculate the flexural
strength of the section.

3. The end block of a prestressed concrete girder is 200 mm wide and 300 mm deep. The
beam is post-tensioned by two freyssinet anchorages each of 100 mm diameter with their
center’s located at 75 mm from the top and bottom of the beam. The force transmitted by
each anchorage being 200 kN. Compute bursting force and design suitable reinforcements
according to IS:1343 provisions

edge to support an imposed load of 3 kN/m2. Cables of four wires of 5mm diameter carrying
an effective force of 100 kN are available for use. Design the spacings of cables in two
directions and check for safety of slab against collapse and excessive deflection at service
loads. Assume fck= 40 N/mm2 , fp = 1600 N/mm2 and Ec = 38 kN/mm2.

TUTORIAL-4
1. The composite T-girder of span 6m is made up of a pre-tensioned rib of 100 mm wide by 200
mm deep with an in-situ slab, 400 mm wide and 40 mm thick. The rib is pre-stressed by a
straight cable having an eccentricity of 33.33 mm and carrying an initial force of 70 kN. The
loss of pre-stress may be assumed to be 15%. Check the composite T-beam for the limit state
of deflection , if it supports an imposed of 3.5 kN/m for
a) Unpropped construction b) propped construction
Assume a modulus of elasticity of 35 kN/mm2 for both pre-cast and in-situ cast elements.

TUTORIAL-5
1. A precast pre-tensioned beam of rectangular section has a breadth of 150 mm and a depth of
250 mm. the beam with an effective span of 6m is prestressed by tendons with their centroids
coinciding with bottom kern. The initial force in the tendons is 175 kN. The initial prestressed

top flange of breadth 450 mm and thickness 45 mm. If the composite beams by supports a
live load of 3.5 kN/m2. Calculate the resultant stresses developed in the pre-cast and in-situ
cast concrete assuming the pre-tensioned beam as (a) unpropped (b) propped during the
casting of slab. Assume the same modulus of elasticity for concrete in pre-cast beam and in-
situ cast slab.

through the beam AB.
