Materials
Strength of concrete
At transfer, the concrete strength must not less than 0.6fck(t)
where fck(t) is the characteristic compressive strength at time.
With Wisdom We Explore
Prestress Loses
The prestressing force which is applied to a member does not
remain constant but gradually reduce. The amount of force
reduce is knows as loss of prestress.
Short Term Long Term
-Elastic shorting of the concrete -Creep and shrinkage of the
- Slip of movement of tendons at concrete under sustained
anchorage compression
-Relaxation of prestressing steel -Relaxation of the prestressing
-Friction at the bend due to steel under sustained tension

Section Properties
For elastic analysis and design:
A prestressed concrete section may be characterized by a
number of variables and geometric parameters.

Section Properties
Selection of properties section can be based upon the span of
structure:

Section Modulus
Section modulus for top fibre Z1 and bottom fibre Z2:
Calculate using equations that derived from basic inequalities
(describing the stress distribution across the concrete section).

Stress Limits
Limitation of prestressed concrete stress
The stress limits for prestressed concrete structures under
transfer and service condition are stated in clause [Link], EN
1992-1-1.

Stress Distribution
At transfer – immediately after prestress has been applied, where
there is only the selfweight of the beam.
1) Stress due to load
2) Stress due to
prestressing force
3) Stress due to
prestressing force
(eccentric)
4) Total
1) 2) 3) 4)

Stress Distribution
At service – after some or all the losses have occurred and the is
carrying loads (permanent and/or variable actions).
With Wisdom We Explore
Example 5.1 – Prestress Loading
Consider a simply supported rectangular beam carrying a
uniformly distributed vertical load, w=10kN/m. The beam has
span 8m and dimension as shown in the figure below. Calculate:
a) Prestressing force applied along the line of the center of
gravity.
b) Prestressing force at below 200m of the centroid axis.

Example 5.2 – Choice of Section
A 20m span simply supported beam for a bridge construction is
to be designed using post-tensioned prestressed concrete.
During service the beam is to carry a characteristic load
(excluding selfweight) of 20kN/m. Grade C50 concrete is used
and transfer will be doing when concrete achieve the strength of
30N/mm2. The prestressing force applied is 2000kN at the
eccentricity of 500mm at mid span. The short and long term
losses of the prestressing for are estimated at 10% and 20%
respectively.
Select the suitable section for the beam using
a)Rectangular section

Example 5.3 – Stress Limit
A simply supported post-tensioned concrete beam has
dimension as shown in figure below and span 25m. It has an
initial prestress force of 3350kN applied at an eccentricity of
500m below centroid. The beam which carries a uniformly
distributed service excluding selfweight of 17kN/m is to be with
grade C40 concrete and to be stressed at 7 days after casting.
Determine the stresses at mid span
during transfer and service if the short
and long term losses are 10% and
20% respectively. Also, check the
stresses within the allowable values.
