1. A Post –tensioned concrete beam of rectangle section,100mm wide and 300mm deep, is stressed
by a parabolic cable with zero eccentricity at the supports and an eccentricity of 50mm at the
centre of span.The area of the cable is 200mm2,initial stress in the cable is 1200n/mm2.If the
ultimate creep strain is 30X10-6 N/mm2 of stress E=2X105 N/mm2,Compute the loss stresses in
steel only due to creep of concrete.
2. List out various types of losses of prestress in post tensioned and pre tensioned members?
3. A concrete beam of 10o mm wide and 300 mm deep, is prestressed by 3 cables.The area of each
cable is 200 mm2 and the initial stress in the cable is 1200 n/mm2 .Cable 1 is parabolic with an
eccentricity of 50 mm above the centriod at supports and 50 mm below at the centre of span.cable
2 is also parabolic with zero eccentricity at supports and 50 mm below the centriod at the centre of
span. Cable 3 is staright with uniform eccentricity of 50 mm below the centriod.If the cables are
tensioned from one end only,estimate the percentage loss of stress in each cable due to friction .
4. What is anchorage slip? How do you compute the loss of stress due to anchorage slip?

1. Explain about composite structural members?

2. A precast pre-tensioned beam of rectangular section has a breadth of 100 mm and a depth of
200mm.The beam, with an effective span of 5 m, is prestressed by tendons with their centriods
coinciding with the bottom tern.The intial force in the tendons is 150 kN.The loss of prestress may
be assumed to be 15%.The beam is incorporated in a composite T-beam by casting a top flange of
breath 400 mm & thickness 40 mm. If the composite beam supports a live load of
8kN/mm2.Calculate the resultant stresses developed in the precast and situ in cast concrete
assigning the pre tensioned beam as a) unpropped ,and b)propped during the casting of the slab.
3. A concrete beam having a rectangular section 100mm wide and 300 mm deep is prestressed by a
parabolic cable carrying an intial force of 240 kN.The cable has an eccentricity a 50 mm at the
centre of span and is concentric at the supports. If the beam is 10 m and the live load is 2kN/m,
Estimate the short time deflection at the centre of span.
4. Explain about the flexural strength of composite section.
