    This document provides instructions for a civil engineering assignment on prestressed concrete. Students are asked to: 1) Calculate moment and curvature at three additional stages (yielding, concrete crushing, strand rupture) for a beam analyzed previously. 2) Sketch the full moment-curvature diagram combining results from this and a prior assignment to determine if failure will be due to crushing or rupture. 3) Calculate the beam's nominal moment capacity using general and approximate methods from a code, applying material safety factors of 1.

    Dr. Maged A. Youssef, P.Eng. Page: 1

    If you consider that there is missing information, you are urged to make a reasonable assumption and
    submit a clear statement of this assumption.

    In Problem 2 of Assignment 4, you calculated the moment and curvature at prestressing, cracking, and
    decompression. In this assignment and for the same beam, you are required to

    1. calculate the moment and curvature at yielding, concrete crushing (  c  0.0035 ), and rupture of
    the strands (fp=fpu).
    2. using the moment and curvature values calculated in this assignment and in assignment 4, sketch
    the final moment curvature diagram. Is failure going to happen due to concrete crushing or strand
    rupture?
    3. Calculate the nominal moment capacity of the beams using the general and approximate methods
    of A23.3 [use material safety factors = 1 and multiply the value of α1 by 1/0.9]
