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:

p p ec Mc e e + Fb = Ac Ig Ig 233 233* e *10 1620 *10 + 0= 200 6667.667 6667.667

So for e , e= 3.62 in So the Compression will become Zero at Eccentricity of 3.62 in.

a) Find the Prestressing force for the simply supported beam & Also show the distribution at zero compressive stresses on the vertical section at the mid span.If it is pre stressed by a straight tendon achored at e= 4". If the beam comes a total service load of 1.2 kip/ft including the dead load of 0.21 kip/ft. Solution:

P P ec Mc e e + Fb = Ac Ig Ig P P * 4 *10 1620 *10 e e + 0= 200 6667.667 6667.667

So for P , P= 220.91 Kips

So the Compression will become Zero at Prestressing force of 220.91 kips providing e=4"
