A rectangular concrete beam 254 mm wide and 393 mm deep is simply supported over a span of 9.60 m. the beam is reinforced with straight tendons situated 52 mm above the bottom of the beam under a prestressing force of 642 kN. Concrete weighs 22.69 kN/m³ with modulus of elasticity Ec=23,711.02 MPa. Assuming tension concrete does not crack, what is the midspan deflection due to the given loads.
