The cross section for a 12 m simply supported beam is as shown. The

initial tendon prestress is 1.1 GPa. Concrete grade is 43 MPa and tendon
ultimate strength is 1.725 GPa. The total area of prestressing steel is 774

The 12m simply supported T beam shown above is prestressed with a force of 1400 KN,
using a parabolic tendon with an eccentricity of 75 mm above the concrete centroid at the
supports and 195 mm below the centroid at mid span. After time-dependent losses have
occurred, this prestress is reduced to 1190 KN. In addition to its own weight of 4.8 KN/m,
the girder must carry a short-term Jive load of 13.1 KN/m. Determine the Design Class for
the member and estimate the deflection at all critical stages of loading. The creep
