EXAMPLE 8.7 A cantilevered portion of a prestressed concrete bridge with a rec- tangular cross-section, 600 mm wide and 1650 mm deep, is 8 m long and carries a reaction of 350 kN from the suspended span at the free end, together with a uniformly distributed load of 60 kN/m inclusive of its own weight. The beam is prestressed by 7 cables each carrying a force of 1000 kN, of which 3 are located at 150 mm, 3 at 400 mm and 1 at 750 mm from the top edge. Calculate the magnitude of the principal stresses at a point 550 mm from the top of cantilever at the support section.

cantilever at the support section.
