1 Forces at section X-X at 6m from top

P = 219 kN
M = 570 kN.m
V = 284 kN

Note - The BM & SF at section X-X are resisted by the shear key.
The stresses developed on the joint are presented below.

= 2067.6214 N/mm or kN/m

Sheared area at crack = b*L

shear acting over = 2067621 N

length L

Shear stress = 6.89 N/mm2

Max shear strength for M35 concrete with 3% reinforcement is 0.99 N/mm2

Max permissible shear stress for M35 concrete is 3.70 N/mm2

The required shear resistance is too high & can not be provided using additional
reinforcement
1 Forces at section X-X at 6m from top

P = 219 kN
M = 570 kN.m
V = 284 kN

Note - Bending moment at section X-X is resisted by eccentrically

placed prestressed cable.

2 Force required in cable to resist BM & SF at section X-X

For preliminary calculations, the cable is placed at a dist (b/6) from the center of the section.
Doing this, there won't be any tensile(uplift) stress on the opposite side. This cable location gives
maximum force. The cable eccentricity can be further increased by providing additional cable on
the other side.

P = 570000000 = 4334.601 kN / running meter

Add appx 25 % for losses

P cable = 5418.25095 kN / running meter

Considering cable spaced at 200 mm c/c, number of cables per running meter is 6

Force in each cable = 903.0418 kN

Considering high strength cable of grade 1600 MPa

Dia of cable required = 26.8 mm

Required Shear resistance can be easily achived with the available prestressing force
