2. A 300 mm x 400 mm concrete beam has a span of 5.5m. A post tension force of 600 kN was applied at a point 60mm above the bottom of the beam. Assume concrete would not crack in tension. f.=20.7MPA. Unit weight of concrete is 23.5 kN/m3. Compute the following: а. Deflection due to prestressing force of 600 kN. b. Net deflection of the beam immediately after transfer. 60mm 5.5m
A rectangular footing 2.1 m x 3.6 m x 0.35 m thick supports a 300 mm square column at its center. Column loads are service conditions: DL = 346 kN LL = 231 kN f’c = 21 MPa fy = 415 MPa Concrete cover to the centroid of steel reinforcement = 100 mm   Calculate the nominal punching shear stress in the slab.  Write your final answer with 2 decimal places if the unit is MPA. Answer: 1.83
2nd: A simply supported 14-m span beam, 300-mm wide by 540-mm deep, is pre- stressed by straight tendons with Aps = 774 mm² located 70 mm from the bottom at an initial prestress of 1.10 GPa. Calculate the concrete stress in MPa at the bottom fiber of the beam at midspan immediately after the tendons are cut. Write your answer in 2 decimal places only. Use unit weight of concrete 24 kN/cu.m. Sign convention is (+) tension, (-) compression. Indicate the sign in your final answer.
