Specified tensile strength of prestressing tendon is 1895MPa. And specified compressive strength of concrete of 34.6 MPa. The beam has a width of 300mm and a total depth of 600mm. Distance from the extreme compression fiber to the centroid of prestressing tendon is 490 mm, Pi=1387.5 KN , R=0.8 and Eps=196 GPa a. What is the increased strain corresponding to the decompression of concrete at the level of the steel centroid? b.Using modified strain compatibility analysis, what is the total steel strain? c. Using modified strain compatibility analysis, what is the total steel strain? d. What is the stress in the prestressed reinforcement at nominal strength, fps, using modified strain compatibility analysis? e. What is compressive force on concrete using fps, modified strain compatibility analysis?
