INSTRUCTION: Select the correct answer for each A. 1,664 C. 995
of the following questions. Mark only one answer B. 768 D. 1216
for each item by shading the box corresponding
to the letter of your choice on the answer sheet
provided. STRICTLY NO ERASURES ALLOWED. GOOD
LUCK.

NOTE: A times B is represented by A×B or A*B.

A raised to the power n is expressed as
A^n. All problems are 1 point each.

Situation 1. A prestress rectangular beam

0.50 m x 0.80 m has a simple span of 3m
and is loaded by a uniform load of 45 kN/m
including its own weight. The prestressing
tendon is 0.25 m from the bottom and
produces a prestress force of 1,600 kN.

loads for the building are as follows: 8. To prevent excessive deflection, a support
is added at midspan. Compute the resulting
DL: 5.0 kPa (Roof) moment (kN-m) at the added support.
7.0 kPa (typical for each floor) A. 48.38 C. 387.00
B. 192.05 D. 92.31
