Answer the following Questions:

1. a) What are the factors influencing the creep and shrinkage of concrete?
b) For what types of structures do you recommend post-tensioning?

A Prestressed concrete beam of rectangular cross section 300mm by 600mm is 10

m long supports a live load 15 kN/m in addition to its own self weight. The beam
is prestressed by a cable having high-tensile wires of 2000 mm area stressed to
1000 N/mm2. The cable is straight and located at a distance of 175 mm from the
soffit of the beam. Determine the shift in the pressure line at one quarter span and
centre of span, when the beam supports the service load.

A prestressed concrete girder is post-tensioned using a cable concentric at supports

and having an eccentricity of 400 mm at centre of span. The effective span of the
girder is 20 m. The initial force in the cable is 400 kN at the jacking end A.
Determine the loss of force in the cable due to friction and wave effect and the
effective force in the cable at the farther end B. Assume coefficient of friction g =
0.30 and coefficient for wave effect 0.00431m.

What is 'Effective reinforcement Ratio'? In what way will it influence the stress in tendons
and the neutral axis depth at the limit state of collapse of Prestressed concrete sections?
