TECHNICAL ELECTIVE 3 – Problem Solving

1st Semester 2020-2021
Problem: Solve and Compare the maximum stress in a six (6) meter simply supported reinforced concrete beam 300mmx
600mm and carrying a total load of w = (10+N)kN/m to a pre-stressed concrete beam with the same section, span and load w =
(10+N)kN/m The pre-stressing force P = (50*N)kN is applied on the beam with straight profile and is located as shown in case b
and c. Show your solution on a separate sheet of clean paper.
