Question
A prestressed concrete beam 400 mm x 800 mm is to carry a
uniform load of 40 kN/m on a simple span of 11 m. the beam is prestressed to
2200 kN applied 200 mm below the neutral axis.
a) Which of the following most nearly gives the stress at the bottom of the
beam at midspan.
b) Which of the following most nearly gives the stress at the top of the beam
at midspan.
c) If a concentrated load P is to be applied at midspan, which of the following
most nearly gives the the value of P so that the stress at the bottom of the
beam at midspan becomes zero.
