Q # 1. A rectangular concrete beam of cross-section 30 cm deep and 20 cm wide is pre-stressed by means of 15
wires of 5 mm diameter located 6.5 cm from the bottom of the beam and 3 wires of diameter of 5mm, 2.5 cm
from the top. Assuming the pre-stress in the steel as 840 N/mmf. Calculate the stresses at the extreme fibers
of the mid span section when the beam is supporting its own weight over a span of 6 m. If a uniformly
distributed live load of 6 kN/m is imposed. Evaluate the maximum working stress in concrete. The density of
concrete is (P+20) kN/m³.

Q # 2. An un-symmetrical section beam is used to support an imposed load of 2 kN/m over a span of 8 m. The
ottom flange, 100 mm wide and 60 mm
sectional details are top flange. 300 mm wide and 60 mm thick
thick; thickness of the web = 80 mm; overall depth of the beam= 400 mm. At the centre of the span, the
effective pre-stressing force of (P+100) kN is located at 50 mm from the soffit of the beam. Estimate the
stresses at the centre of span section of the beam for the following load conditions:
a) Pre-stress and self-weight
b) Pre-stress, self-weight and live load.
