UNIT ? III
6 (a) Write a short note on allowable stresses in design of PSC section for flexure.
(b) A pre-stressed beam has a symmetrical I-section in which the depth of each flange is one-fifth of overall
depth and the web is thin enough to be neglected in bending calculations. At the point of maximum
bending moment, the pre-stressing force is located at the centre of the bottom flange and the total loss of
pre-stress is 20%. If there is to be no tensile stress in the concrete at any time, show that the dead load
must be at least one-seventh of live load.

Two simply supported beams AB = BC = 10 m of rectangular cross section each post tensioned by
means of two parabolic cables ( P = 300 kN each) with eccentricities of zero at the supports and 150 mm
at mid span are converted into a continuous beam by tensioning a parabolic cap cable carrying a force of
300 kN. The ends of the cap cable are located at 3 m from the central support. The cable centre is
50 mm from top of the beam over the central support B. The beam is 200 mm wide and 600 mm deep.

(b) A PSC beam of 6 m span and 150 x 300 mm in size is pre-stressed by a straight cable carrying an
effective force of 220 kN at an eccentricity of 50 mm. If the modulus of elasticity of concrete is 38 kN/m
2
,
compute the deflection at centre of the span due to pre-stress and self-weight and find the magnitude of
uniformly distributed live load which will nullify deflection due to pre-stress and self weight.

11 (a) List the various factors influencing the deflection of PSC members.
(b) A PSC beam of 8 m span and 150 x 350 mm in size is pre-stressed by a parabolic cable having an
eccentricity of 75 mm below the centroidal axis at centre of span and 25 mm above the centroidal axis at
support sections. The initial force in the cable is 300 kN and E
C
= 38 kN/mm
2
, if the beam supports 3
concentrated loads of 11 kN each at intervals of 2 m, estimate the long-term deflection under (pre-stress
+ self-weight + live load) by assuming creep coefficient as 1.80 and by allowing for 20% loss in
pre-stress.
