    Situation- Given the following data of a prestressed rectangular


    beam:

    Loads: Superimposed deadload= 5 kN/m
    Live load= 15 kN/m
    Unit weight of concrete = 23 kN/m^3

    The Beam is simply supported on a span of 12 m and is pre-


    tensioned with the total initial force of 1,750 kN from the low-
    relaxation strands with a centroid 220 mm below N.A. throughout
    the beam length. There is a 15% loss of prestress at service loads
