DEFINITION
A pre-stressed concrete member is a member of concrete in which
internal stresses are introduced in a planned manner so that the
stresses resulting from the superimposed loads are counteracted to
a desired degree.

NUMERICAL - I
An un-symmetrical I-section beam is used to support an imposed load of
2 KN/m over a span of 8.0 m.
The sectional details are mentioned below:
Top
Flange :
Bottom Flange :
The web is 80 mm thick and overall depth of the beam is 400 mm.
At the centre of the span, the effective pre-stressing force of 100 KN is
located at 50 mm from the soffit of the beam.
Estimate the stresses at the center of span section of the beam for the
following load conditions.
(i) Pre-stressed + Self Weight
(ii) Pre-stressed + Self Weight + Live Load

NUMERICAL - II
A pre-stressed concrete beam of section 120 mm wide and 300
mm deep is used over an effective span of 6 m to support a
uniformly distributed load of 4 KN/m, which includes the selfweight of the beam. The beam is pre-stressed by a straight cable
carrying a force of 180 KN and located at an eccentricity of 50
mm. Determine the location of the thrust line in the beam and
plot its position at quarter and central span sections.

A pre-stressed concrete beam supports an imposed load of 4 KN/m over
an effective span of 10 m. The beam has a rectangular section with a
width of 200 mm and depth of 600 mm. Find the effective pre-stressing
force in the cable if it is parabolic with an eccentricity of 100 mm at the
centre and zero at the ends, for the following conditions:
(a) If the bending effect of the pre-stressing force is nullified by the imposed
load for the mid-span section ( neglecting self weight of the beam ).
(b) If the resultant stress due to self weight, imposed load and pre-stressing
force is zero at the soffit of the beam
for the mid-span section.
