A beam with a rectangular cross section of size 250 mm wide and 350 mm deep is prestressed by a force of 400 kN using 8 numbers 7 mm steel cables located at an eccentricity of 75 mm. Determine the loss of prestress due to creep of concrete. Grade of concrete is M40; Coefficient of creep is 2; stress at transfer is 80%, Modulus of elasticity of steel (E) is 2.0 x 105 MPa.

Question
A beam with a rectangular cross section of
size 250 mm wide and 350 mm deep is
prestressed by a force of 400 kN using 8
numbers 7 mm steel cables located at an
eccentricity of 75 mm. Determine the loss of
prestress due to creep of concrete. Grade of
concrete is M40; Coefficient of creep is 2; stress
at transfer is 80%, Modulus of elasticity of
steel (E,) is 2.0 × 105 MPa.
