This document provides information for an exercise on prestressed concrete design including the span, cross section properties, tendon properties, and material properties of a simply supported pre-tensioned concrete beam. Students are asked to use this data to determine the percentage of immediate prestress loss in the tendon.

Figure below shows the tendon profile of a simply supported pre-tensioned concrete beam. The span of the beam is 10 m. The tendon consists of 7-wire strand. Given the following data:
Cross section area = 5 x 104 mm2
Moment of Inertia = 4.5 x 108 mm4 Nominal area of tendon = 372 mm2 Strength of tendon = 1770 N/mm2 Young’s Modulus of concrete = 34 kN/mm2 Young’s Modulus of tendon = 200 kN/mm2 Initial prestressing stress of the tendon = 1200 N/mm2
Determine the percentage of immediate prestress loss.
