    The document provides information on materials, permissible stresses, and load combinations for prestressed concrete structures. It states that concrete used in prestressed members requires high early compressive strength, low shrinkage, and high tensile strength. It also notes that high-strength steel wires, bars, or strands are used for prestressing. The document then lists permissible stress limits for concrete and prestressing tendons under different loading conditions, as well as several basic load combinations for design.

    Materials for Prestressed Concrete


    Prestressed concrete requires concrete which has high compressive strength at a reasonably early age, with
    comparatively higher tensile strength than ordinary concrete. Low shrinkage, minimum creep characteristics and a high
    valu of Young’s modulus are generally necessary for concrete used for prestressed members. Many desirable properties
    such as durability, impermeability, and abrasion resistance are highly influenced by the strength of concrete.
    For prestressed concrete members, the high tensile steel used generally consists of wires, bars or strands.

    Permissible Stresses in concrete (Flexural members)


    (Ultimate Stress Design)
    A. Stresses in concrete immediately after prestress transfer ( before time-dependent prestress losses)
    1. Extreme fiber stress in compression except as permitted by NSCP shall not exceed ………..0.60fci’
    2. Extreme fiber stress in compression at ends of simply supported members shall
    not exceed………………………………………………………………………………………………...0.70fci’
    3. Where computed concrete tensile strength ft exceeds 0.5√ fc ' at ends of simply supported members, or
    0.25√ fc ' at other locations, additional bonded reinforcement shall be provided in the tensile zone to resist the total
    tensile force in concrete computed with the assumption of an uncracked section.

    B. Stresses in concrete at service loads based on uncracked section properties and after allowance for all pre stress
    losses shall not exceed the following:
    1. Extreme fiber stress in compression due to prestress plus sustained loads…………………..0.45 fc’
    2. Extreme fiber stress in compression due to prestress plus total load…………………………..0.60 fc’

    Permissible stress in Prestressing Tendons


    Tensile stress in prestressing tendons shall not exceed the following:
    1. Due to prestressing tendon jacking force………………………………………………………….0.94 fpy
    but not greater than the lesser of 0.80 fpu and the maximum value
    recommended by the manufacturer of prestressing tendons or anchorage devices.
    2. Immediately after prestress transfer ……………………………………………………………….0.82 fpy
    but not greater than 0.74 fpu
    3. Post tensioning tendons, at anchorage devices and couplers,
    immediately after force transfer………………………………………………………………………..0.70 fpu

    BASIC LOAD COMBINATIONS (NSCP 2015)


    1.4(D + F)
    1.2(D + F + T) + 1.6(L + H) + 0.5(Lr or R)
    1.2D +1.6(Lr or R) + (f1L or o.5W)
    1.2D +1.0W + f1L + 0.5(Lr or R)
    1.2D ± 1.0E +f1L
    0.9D + 1.0W + 1.6H
    0.9D ± 1.0E +1.6H
    Where:
    D = dead load
    E = earthquake load
    F = load due to fluids with well defined pressures and maximum heights
    H = load due to lateral pressure of soil and water in soil.
    L = live load except roof live load, including any permitted live load reductions
    LT = roof live load including any permitted live load reductions
    P = ponding load
    R = rain load on undeflected roof
    T = due to temperature change, shrinkage, moisture change, creep in materials and movement due to differential settlement or
    combination thereof.
    W = load due to wind pressure
    f1 = 1.0 for floors in spaces of public assembly, for live loads in excess of 4.8 kPa and for garage live load.
    = 0.5 for other live loads
    The common load combinations for most applications are the following.
    1.2D + 1.6L
    1.2D + f1L ± 1.0W
    1.2D + f1L ± 1.0E
    0.9D ± 1.0W
    0.9D ± 1.0E
