A pretensioned prestressed concrete beam having a rectangular section with a width of 150 mm and overall depth of
350 mm is prestressed by tendons of effective area 461 mm2 at an effective depth of 300 mm. Assuming the
characteristic strength of concrete and steel as 40 and 1600 N/mm2, estimate the ultimate flexural strength of the
section using the provisions of the Indian Standard Code.

A double T-section having a flange 1200 mm wide and 150 mm thick is prestressed by 4700 mm2 of high -
tensile steel located at an effective depth of 1600 mm. The ribs have a thickness of 150 mm each. If the cube
strength of concrete is 40 N/mm2 and tensile strength of steel is 1600 N/mm2, determine the flexural
strength of the double T-girder using IS: 1343 provisions.
