programmer will create summarized and organized software that would provide a fast
and easier analysis and computations on all deflections. The software will also show the
deflection diagram of pre-stressed beam. This software will provide ease to solve and
display all deflections and the net deflection for every given pre-stressed beam.
Objectives of the Project
On calculating deflections due to imposed loads, the program will compute only
the concentrated and uniformly distributed loads imposed on the pre-stressed beam.
all cable profiles or tendons which are located with eccentricities towards the soffit of
beam to counteract the sagging bending moments due to transverse loads. Since the
bending moment at every section is the product of pre-stressing force and eccentricity,
the tendon profile itself will represent the shape of bending moment diagram. The

Expected Output
It is expected that this project can create a program that will easily calculate the
conditions. This program will show the deflection diagram of the pre-stressed beam.
After calculating deflections from the major factors, the net deflection of the pre-stressed
