>>> In absence of test data Modulus of Elasticity of concrete approximately given a

Ec = 5700*sqrt(Fck)
Ec= short term modulus of elasticity (MPA)
Fck = Characteristic Strength of Concrete (MPA)

>>> In absence of test data shrinkage strain can be taken as

For Pre-Tension Esh = 0.0003
Post-Tension Esh = 0.0002/(log10(t+2))
t = age of concrete at transer = approx curing time

Cold Drawn Stress Relieved wires 5 % of Intial Prestress
Indented Wires 5 % of Intial Prestress
Stress-Relieved Strands 5 % of Intial Prestress
