Explain pre tensioning system. List out the various losses of prestress. What is load balancing method? Explain with examples. Write down the steps for the elastic design of sections for flexure. Explain the design of member for bearings. Explain the design of partially prestressed beam. PART-B (4x 15=60) Explain any two methods of post tensioning system with neat sketch. (as) OR Explain in detail the following: (as) Fibre glass tension Strength requirements of concrete for PSC Strength requirements of steel for prestressing Explain the various losses of prestress with relevant formulae. (is) OR A pre tensioned prestressed concrete beam of 8m simply supported span has a cross 3) section of 400mm width and 800mm depth. It is prestressed with 2KN at transfer. The cable has a cross sectional area of 200mm? of steel and has a straight profile with an eccentricity 100mm, Determine the loss of pre stress, given that E,=2.1x10° N/mm? E, =3x108 N/ mn? ‘A rectangular beam 300mm wide and 600mm deep in simply supported on a span of 10m. (15) ‘At midspan a cable placed at 200mm above bottom carries an initial prestress of 1200KN which reduces to 1000KN. Compute the udl of beam can carry at the final stage if (@) the tensile stress is zero in the bottom (b) for cracking in the bottom fibres with tensile stress as 4N/m’. OR Write down the design procedure with formula involved for flexure condition at transfer (15) and in service. P-7.0)vill. Ix, A prestressed concrete beam of rectangular section 200mm wide and 350mm deep is (15) prestressed by a parabolic cable with an eccentricity of 80mm at the centre of span and zero at the supports. The prestressing steel has an area of 400mm” and carries an effective prestress of 900N/mm2, The beam carries a total load of 4kN/m including its own weight over a clear span of 12m, Calculate the maximum and minimum principal stresses and design shear reinforcement for the beam from the following data Ultimate strength of prestressing stee! = 1600 mm? Cubic strength of concrete = SON/mm?, Permissible shear stress in concrete without shear reinforcement = 0.70 N/mm’. OR Enumerate the steps in detail with formula involved for designing a PSC beam to resist (15) BM, shear force and torsion.
