STATEMENT:

Design a simply supported prestressed beam of 15m span carrying a

superimposed D.L. of 10 kN/m and service live load of 15 kN/m. Concrete of 40
MPa strength will be used with fci’ 29 MPa and 7-wire steel strands of Grade
1725 will be used with fpy 1550 MPa.
The class-U member section is of symmetrical I-shape with the varied eccentricity.
The losses are estimated to be 15% after transfer.

SOLUTION:

L=15m Class-U member

WD=10 KN/m
Fc’ = 40 Mpa
Fci’= 20 Mpa R = 0.85 for 15%-time dependent
Fpu= 1725 Mpa Fpy= 1550 Mpa
MD + ML = 1/8 x 25 x 152 = 703.1 KN-M
H = 33(Mmax)0.5 = 33(703)0.5 = 875 mm
Assuming 10% self-weight moment, the depth comes out be 918 mm.
h = l/17 = 15 x 1000 / 17 = 882 mm ⁖ h = 875 mm
Approximate self-weight = 0.006 h2 to 0.007 h2 N/m
= 0.007 x 8752 / 1000 = 5.36 KN/m
Mg = 1/8 x 5.36 x 152 = 150.8 KN-m
For Class-U member, the stress limits are:
Fci’ = -0.6 fci’ = -0.6 x 29 = -17.4 Mpa
Fti’ = 0.25 x (fci’) = 0.25 x (29)0.5
Fcs = -0.6 fc’ = -0.6 x 40 = -24.0 Mpa
Fts = 0.62 x (fc’)0.5 = 0.62 x (40)0.5 = 3.92 Mpa

for symmetrical section; S = 38788 x 103 mm3

b/h = 370/385 = 0.423 (b/w 0.2 and 0.6)

Ac = 2 x 30 x 130 + 615 x 130 + 4 x 0.5 x 90 x 120 = 1977450 mm2

Self weight = 0.198 x 2400 x 9.81/1000 = 4.66 kN/m
(15.11 % lesser than the assumed value, usually it should not be more by 10 %)
Fcci = fti – C1/h x (fti – fci) = 8.025 Mpa
Pi = Ac x |fcci| = 197750 x 8.025 / 1000 = 1586.9 KN
Allowable steel stress just after transfer, fpi = 0.7 x fpt = 1271 Mpa
Pi
Aps = = 156.9 x 1000 / 1207.5 = 1314 mm2
𝑓𝑝𝑖

Area of 12.70 mm diameter strand = 92.90 mm2

Number of strands, Ns = Aps / 92.90 = 1314 / 92.90 = 14.15 say 15 strands
Initial force in each strand = Pi / Ns = 1586.9 / 15 = 105.79 KN
For the calculation of the required maximum eccentricity, we need the actual values of S1
and Mg.

Keeping the bottom tendon at maximum eccentricity, the eccentricity of the top tenon x is
evaluated as under
X x 7 + 372.5 x 8 = 315.4 x 15 x = 250.4 mm
