Example 10 A porttensioned beam hes a 35 m apsn, see figure 10.1. The beam ha: a rectangular cro Section; width 5 = 0,75 m and height t= 1,8 m. The beam is prestressed using curved tendons (Gtrand: in ducts). The fictitious tendon profile consists of two parabolas, namely parabola 1 with a radius of curvature 2, =.62 m over, = 10 mand parabola 2 with R,=330mover4 =25 m ‘Tue bowom of both parsbolas is st position A (they joint at this position) in Figure 3.1, which is at 4, = 10 mm from the left support The bottem of the parabola: te at 0,2 m fom the Bottom fiber of the beam.
