    The document summarizes the key points of a tutorial solution for the flexural design of a prestressed concrete structure. It includes the sectional properties, permissible stresses, calculations showing that the stresses are within allowable limits for lifting and working conditions, and verification that the ultimate moment capacity exceeds the required capacity with the prestressing fully developed.

    Tutorial 3: Flexural Design
    Key Points of Solution

    Take h = 500 mm and use 15.7 mm strands initially stressed to 70% of ultimate tensile strength

    Sectional properties
    Zt = 0.0335 m3 Zb = 0.0173 m3

    Permissible stresses
    f ct = 16 N/mm2 f tt = 2.85 N/mm2
    f cw = 16.5 N/mm2 f tw = 3.18 N/mm2

    (a) Lifting
    Stresses at quarter points
    fbt = 14.71 N/mm2 < 16 N/mm2
    ftt = -1.62 N/mm2 > -2.85 N/mm2
    Stresses at mid-span and ends (less critical)
    fbt = 13.22 N/mm2 < 16 N/mm2
    ftt = -0.85 N/mm2 > -2.85 N/mm2

    (b) Working
    fbw = -2.91 N/mm2 > -3.18 N/mm2
    ftw = 6.78 N/mm2 < 16.5 N/mm2

    (c) Flexural strength


    M u = 442.0 kNm > M uR = 382.8 kNm (cable force fully developed)
    M u = 439.2 kNm > M uR = 382.8 kNm (Table 12.4)
    No need for untensioned reinforcement.

    Note that alternative solutions are possible.
