Cover to prestressing steel = 80 mm

Seathing duct diameter = 56 mm
c.g.s eccentricity wrt duct = 8 mm 0.15 x duct dia.
Maximum practical eccentricity, eo(mp) = 508 mm
Adotped eo = 480 mm
Minimum prestressing force, Fe = 3477.80 kN Eqn III -11354 kN
Eqn IV 3478 kN

Adopted prestressing force, Fe = 3400 kN
