What is the modulus of rupture of the high strength concrete in psi when fc' 

= 7500
psi? Express your answer in two decimal places only.

649.52

The beam shown in Figure 1 has an effective total prestress of 240 kips. Assuming
the tendons are placed at the kern point, determine its location at the ends of the
beam. Express your answer in inch with two decimal places.
4.66

The beam shown in Figure 2 has a 30-ft simple span, fc' = 5000 psi, fpu = 250,000
psi, and the initial prestress is 160,000 psi, fpy = 0.85 fpu, and 10% losses.
Calculate the concrete stresses at top of the beam at midspan immediately after the
tendons are cut. Express your answer in ksi with three decimal places. If the
answer is negative, indicate its sign in your final answer, otherwise do not.

0.183

The recommended creep coefficient for posttensioned is 2.0, while 1.6 is


recommended for pretensioned sections.

False

In prestressed concrete, the rectangular sections as compared to I's and T's sections
are the most economical in the viewpoint of formwork alone.

True
