    Fareast International University

    Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering


    Program: B. Sc in Civil and Environmental Engineering
    Final Examination Semester: Fall-2022
    Course Code: CE 4103, Course Title: Prestress Concrete
    Total Marks: 40 Duration: 120 mins.
    The marks in the margin indicate full marks. Draw the figure where necessary.

    Answer the first question which is mandatory and answer any three questions from other
    four questions.
    1. The mid span section of a composite precast beam stem 300 mm by 920 mm deep is 16
    post tensioned with an initial force of 2600 kN. The effective prestress after losses is
    taken as 2300 kN. Moment due to the weight of that precast section is 250 kN-m at
    mid span. After it is erected in place, the top slab of 150 mm deep by 920 mm wide is
    to be cast in place producing a moment of 150 kN-m. The c.g.s. is 200 mm above the
    bottom fiber. After the slab concrete has hardened, the composite section is to carry a
    maximum live load moment of 750kN-m. Compute stresses in the section at various
    stages, if Aps=2400 mm2, fpu=1650 MPa, fc’=34 MPa. Estimate the ultimate stresses.
    (Draw figure and stress diagram where it’s needed)
    2. A posttensioned simple beam on a span of 12 m is shown in Figure-1. It carries a 08
    superimposed load of 12 kN/m in addition to its own weight of 6.5 kN/m. The initial
    prestress in the steel is 1050 MPa, reducing to 920 MPa after deducting all losses and
    assuming no bending of the beam. The parabolic cable has an area of 1650 mm2, n = 6.
    Compute the total dead and live uniform load that can be carried by the beam, (1) for
    zero tensile stress in the bottom fibers, (2) for cracking in the bottom fibers at a
    modulus of rupture of 4.5 N/mm2, and assuming concrete to take tension up to that
    value.( Draw the stress diagram also)

    Fig.-1
    3. A prestressed concrete beam is continuous over two spans (Figure-2) and its curved 08
    tendon is to be tensioned from both ends. Compute the percentage loss of prestress due
    to friction, from one end to the center of the beam (A to E). The curvature coefficient
    between the cable and the duct is taken as 0.3 and the average wobble coefficient is
    0.0010 per ft.(Solve this math in Exact method)

    Fig.-2

    4. A concrete beam of 10 m simple span, Figure-3, is posttensioned with 800 mm2 of 08


    high-tensile steel to an initial prestress of 1000 MPa immediately after prestressing.
    Compute the initial deflection at midspan due to prestress and the beam’s own weight,
    assuming Ec=30 X 103 MPa. Estimate the deflection after 2 months, assuming a creep
    coefficient of Cc=1.5 and an effective prestress of 800 MPa at that time.(Solve this
    math in Second method)

    Fig.-3

    5. (a) Describe any two immediate losses of prestresses from below: 04


    (i) Friction; (ii) Anchorage slip; (iii) Elastic shortening
    (b) Describe any two long term losses of prestresses from below: 04
    (i) Shrinkage; (ii) Creep; (iii) Relaxation
