Question
A 235 mm x 438 mm prestressed beam
has a simple span of 6 m. The beam uses
stress relieved tendons with specified
tensile strength fpu = 1,368 MPa and an
effective stress in prestressed
reinforcement after allowable for all
prestress losses fse = 750 MPa. The
prestressed beam is not to be grouted
after the application of the the prestress.
If the area of prestress reinforcement in
the tension zone is Aps = 1,140 mm2
applied 49 mm above the bottom of the
beam and fe' = 31.8 MPa, determine the
nominal moment of the beam.
