1. Determine the extreme fibre stresses in concrete at the mid span section.

2. Estimate the ultimate flexural strength of the beam for the beam is pretensioned as
per IS code recommendations.
3. Find the prestressing force necessary so that the tension is just avoided at the soffit
of the mid-section.
4. Find the ultimate flexural strength.
5. calculate the percentage loss of stress in steel immediately after transfer, allowing for
the loss of stress due to elastic deformation of concrete only.
6. Estimate the ultimate moment of resistance of the section using codal provisions.
7. Estimate the ultimate shear resistance at the support section, and the maximum
permissible uniformly distributed working load on the beam
8. Calculate the percentage loss of stress in the cable only due to shrinkage of concrete
using IS: 1343 recommendations assuming the beam to be, (a) pre-tensioned and (b)
post-tensioned.
9. Determine the effective force in the cable to balance the dead and live loads on the
beam.
10. A continuous prestressed concrete beam ABC ( AB=BC=10m) has a uniform
rectangular cross section with a width of 100mm and depth 300 mm. the cable
carrying an effective prestressing force of 360 kN is parallel to axis of beam and
located at 100 mm from sofit. Determine the secondary and resultant moment at
central support B.
11. A composite T-girder of span 5m is made up of a pretensioned rib, 100mm wide by
200mm deep, with straight cable having are eccentricity of 33.33mm and carrying an
initial force of150 kN. The loss of prestress may be assumed to be 15 percent. Check
the composite T-beam for the limit state of deflection if it supports an imposed load
of 3.2 kN/m for (a) unpropped construction and (b) propped construction Assume a
modulus of elasticity of 85kN / mm2 for both precast and cast in situ elements.
12. A prestressed cylinder pipe is to be designed using a steel cylinder of 1000mm
internal diameter and thickness 1.6mm. The circumferential wire winding consists of
a 4mm high tensile wire, initially tensioned to a stress of 1000 N/mm. Ultimate
tensile strength of the wire = 1600N/mm2 Yield stress of the steel cylinder = 280
N/mm². The maximum permissible compressive stress in concrete at transfer is
14N/mm2 and no tensile stresses are permitted under working pressure of 0.8N/mm2
Determine the thickness of the concrete lining required, the number of turns of
circumferential wire winding and the factor of safety against bursting. Assume
modular ratio as 6.
