a) Find the eccentricity for the simply supported beam & Also show the distribution at zero compressive stresses on the vertical section at the mid span, produced by total load and pre stressed tendon.If it is pre stressed by a straight tendon that causes an effective force of 233 kips. If the beam comes a total service load of 1.2 kip/ft including the dead load of 0.21 kip/ft. Solution:

Fb 0
So for e , e=

233 233* e *10 1620*10 200 6667.667 6667.667

3.62

in So the Compression will become Zero at Eccentricity of 3.62 in.

If the beam comes a total service load of 1.2 kip/ft including the dead load of 0.21 kip/ft. Solution:
