The beam shown has an effective total prestress of 240 k.

Calculate the fiber stresses at top and bottom

of the beam shown at the ends and centerline. The tendons are assumed to be straight. (Ans. ftop =
−1.024 ksi, fbot = −0.118 ksi at the centerline
Compute the stresses at top and bottom of the beam shown at the ends and centerline immediately
after the cables are cut. Assume straight cable and 10% losses. Initial prestress is 170 ksi
