Consider the prestressed concrete beam and prestressing steel stress-strain diagram given below. The concrete is assumed to have an ultimate strain capacity of 0.003 in/in. Determine the nominal strength of the member using the strain compatibility method. It should be noted that the stress-strain diagram below allows virtually "exact" calculation of stresses and strains in the prestressing steel.
