Question
A prestressed concrete beam of rectangular section, 120 mm wide
and 300 mm deep, spans over 6 m. The beam is prestressed by a straight cable carrying
an effective force of 180 kN at an eccentricity of 500 mm. If it supports an imposed
load of 4 kN/m and the modulus of elasticity of concrete is 38 kN/mm², compute the
deflection at the following stages and check whether they comply with the IS code
specifications.
(a) upward deflection under (prestress + self-weight), and
(b) final downward deflection under (prestress + self-weight + imposed load)
including the effects of creep and shrinkage. Assume the creep coefficient to be
