Assignment No. 2 - Losses

This document is an assignment from a civil engineering course on prestressed concrete. It provides the details of a simply supported beam that is 23 meters long, including its cross section dimensions and applied loads. Students are asked to compute the total prestress losses over 5 years for the beam, which is prestressed with 20 steel strands, considering both pre-tensioned and post-tensioned conditions. The document provides relevant material properties and design parameters to use in the calculations.

ASSIGNMENT NO. 2 Loss of Prestress


Q1: The simply supported beam shown below has a span of 23 m and the crosssection shown. The beam is subjected to a uniform gravitational live-load intensity WL = 17.5 kN/m in addition to its self weigh. The beam is prestressed with 20 low-relaxation stress-relieved 13 mm diameter 7-wire strand. Compute the total prestress losses and compare them with the values obtained by the lump-sum method. Solve for both pre-tensioned and post-tensioned prestressing conditions. Take the following values as given: fcu = 41 MPa, fcui = 31 MPa,
760 mm

fpu = 1862 MPa, fpi = 0.70 fpu,


203 mm

Relaxation time t = 5 years, ec = 483 mm,


1270 mm 760 mm

Relative Humidity = 75% Anchorage slip = 6 mm Assume Superimposed dead loads = 30% of LL
203 mm 152 mm

1270 mm

ec = 483 mm

23 m
