Q1 A simply supported beam of span 7m is 120 x 220 mm in section. L3,L4 CO4 20
It is pre-stressed with a parabolic cable, which carries an effective
pre-stress of 225kN. The cable has a maximum eccentricity of
100 mm at mid span section and minimum eccentricity of 50 mm
at the support section. Determine principal tension at 25mm
above centroidal fiber in a section, which lie at 0.7m from the left
support. The beam carries an all-inclusive load of 12kN/m.
OR
Q2 A PSC beam 300 mm x 100mm is subjected to a shear force of L3, L4 CO4 20
500kN under working loads near support section. The effective
pre -stressing force in the tendon is 800kN.The cable is parabolic
with zero eccentricity at support and 3oomm below centriodal
axis at midspan. The span of the beam is 12 m. If M20 concrete is
used to determine the principal tension in concrete at support
section.
Q3 The end block of a pre-stressed concrete girder is 200 mm wide L3, L4, L6 CO5 30
by 300 mm deep. The beam is post tensioned by two freyssinet
cable of each of 100 mm diameter with their centers located at
75mm from the top and bottom of the beam. The force
transmitted by each anchorage being 2000kN. Compute the
bursting force and design suitable reinforcements according to
Indian standard is 1343 code provisions. Sketch the arrangement
of anchorage zone reinforcement.
OR
Q4 The end block of post tensioned pre-stressed concrete beam L3, L4, L6 CO5 30
300mm x 300mm is subjected to a prestressing force 832.8kN.
Anchorage area 11720mm2. Design suitable anchorage
reinforcement
