A section at mid-span for a post-tensioned prestressed concrete beam class 2 is shown in the figure. The beam is simply supported over a 25 m span and carries a characteristic imposed load of 9 kN/m in addition to the self-weight. The beam is prestressed with four cables, two of which are curved upwards at the support. Given that fck,28=50 N/mm2f_{ck,28} = 50 \text{ N/mm}^2fck,28=50 N/mm2, fct,14=35 N/mm2f_{ct,14} = 35 \text{ N/mm}^2fct,14=35 N/mm2, and losses of prestress at transfer and at service load are 10% and 25%, respectively. Calculate:
(a) Section properties;
(b) Optimum section modulus at mid-span if the self-weight acts when the cables are stressed;
(c) The eccentricity of the prestressing force, to satisfy the tensile stress restraint at service load if Pi=2500 kNP_i = 2500 \text{ kN}Pi=2500 kN;
(d) The fiber stresses at transfer and service load if the practical eccentricity ep=440 mme_p = 440 \text{ mm}ep=440 mm;
(e) With e=440 mme = 440 \text{ mm}e=440 mm, determine the limits of the prestressing force;
(f) With Pi=2500 kNP_i = 2500 \text{ kN}Pi=2500 kN, determine the limits of the eccentricity.

(a) To calculate the section properties of the prestressed concrete beam, we need to determine the following:
1. Area of the section;
2. Moment of inertia of the section.

Given that the beam is class 2, we can assume an effective depth (d) of 0.9 times the overall depth (D).

1. Area of the section:
Let's denote the overall depth of the beam as D. The effective depth (d) is then 0.9D.
The width of the beam is not provided, so we will assume a typical width for a beam.

Area (A) = Width × Overall Depth
A = Width × D

2. Moment of inertia of the section:
The moment of inertia can be calculated using the formula for a rectangular section:

I = (Width × D^3) / 12

Once we have the section properties, we can proceed to the next parts of the question.

(b) Optimum section modulus at mid-span:
The optimum section modulus is given by the formula:

S = Mmax / σst

Where:
  • Mmax is the maximum moment at mid-span,
  • σst is the allowable stress in the extreme tensile reinforcement.

To calculate the maximum moment Mmax, we need to consider the self-weight of the beam acting when the cables are stressed. This will induce additional bending moment that needs to be accounted for.

(c) Eccentricity of the prestressing force:
The eccentricity of the prestressing force can be calculated using the equilibrium equation:

e = (P × e_p) / A_p

Where:
  • P is the prestressing force,
  • e_p is the practical eccentricity,
  • A_p is the area of the prestressing steel.

(d) Fiber stresses at transfer and service load:
The fiber stress at transfer can be calculated using the formula:

σ_pt = P / A_p

The fiber stress at service load can be calculated using the formula:

σ_ps = (P × e) / I

(e) Limits of the prestressing force:
The limits of the prestressing force are typically governed by the tensile capacity of the prestressing steel and the concrete crushing strength.

(f) Limits of the eccentricity:
The limits of the eccentricity are usually determined by the requirements for the serviceability and ultimate limit states of the beam. These limits ensure that the beam remains within the design criteria under different loading conditions.

I apologize for the oversight. Let's calculate the answers to the questions based on the information provided:

Given data:
  • fck,28 = 50 N/mm²
  • fct,14 = 35 N/mm²
  • Prestress losses: 10% at transfer, 25% at service load
  • Pi = 2500 kN
  • Practical eccentricity (ep) = 440 mm

Let's proceed with the calculations:

(a) Section properties:
Since the dimensions of the beam are not provided, we cannot calculate the exact values of the section properties without additional information. We need the dimensions (width and depth) of the beam to calculate the area and moment of inertia.

(b) Optimum section modulus at mid-span:
To calculate the optimum section modulus, we need the maximum moment at mid-span, which can be determined by considering the self-weight of the beam and the imposed load. Once the maximum moment is calculated, we can divide it by the allowable stress in the extreme tensile reinforcement to find the optimum section modulus.

(c) Eccentricity of the prestressing force:
Using the given values of the prestressing force (Pi), practical eccentricity (ep), and area of prestressing steel (Ap), we can calculate the eccentricity of the prestressing force at service load.

(d) Fiber stresses at transfer and service load:
We can calculate the fiber stresses at transfer and service load using the formulas provided, considering the values of the prestressing force, eccentricity, area of prestressing steel, and moment of inertia.

(e) Limits of the prestressing force:
The limits of the prestressing force depend on the tensile capacity of the prestressing steel and the concrete crushing strength. These limits ensure that the beam remains within the safe range of stresses.

(f) Limits of the eccentricity:
The limits of the eccentricity are determined based on the requirements for the serviceability and ultimate limit states of the beam. These limits ensure that the beam performs satisfactorily under different loading conditions.

If you provide the dimensions of the beam (width and depth), I can help you calculate the section properties and further details as needed.

  • Web height: 800 mm (which is the total height minus the flange thickness, i.e., 1000 mm - 200 mm = 800 mm)
  • Cable positions:
    • There are two sets of prestressing cables positioned symmetrically from the center of the web.
    • The cables are located at:
      • 400 mm from the bottom of the section.
      • 600 mm from the bottom of the section.

  • Flange width (b_f) = 500 mm
  • Web width (b_w) = 300 mm
  • Flange thickness (t_f) = 200 mm
  • Web height = 800 mm

1. Area of the section:
\[ A = 2(b_f \times t_f) + b_w \times h \]
\[ A = 2(500 mm \times 200 mm) + 300 mm \times 1000 mm \]
\[ A = 200,000 mm² + 300,000 mm² \]
\[ A = 500,000 mm² \]

2. Moment of inertia of the section:
\[ I_{flange} = 2 \left( \frac{b_f \times t_f^3}{12} \right) \left( \frac{t_f}{2} \right)^2 \]
\[ I_{flange} = 2 \left( \frac{500 mm \times (200 mm)^3}{12} \right) \left( \frac{200 mm}{2} \right)^2 \]
\[ I_{flange} = 2 \times \frac{500 \times 8000000}{12} \times 10000 \]
\[ I_{flange} = 2 \times \frac{4000000000}{12} \times 10000 \]
\[ I_{flange} = 2 \times 333,333,333.33 \times 10000 \]
\[ I_{flange} = 6,666,666,666.67 mm^4 \]

\[ I_{web} = \frac{b_w \times h^3}{12} \]
\[ I_{web} = \frac{300 mm \times (1000 mm)^3}{12} \]
\[ I_{web} = \frac{300,000,000 mm^4}{12} \]
\[ I_{web} = 25,000,000 mm^4 \]

Total moment of inertia:
\[ I = I_{flange} + I_{web} \]
\[ I = 6,666,666,666.67 mm^4 + 25,000,000 mm^4 \]
