1(b) A simply supported post tensioned concrete beam of span 15 m has a rectangular cross seciton 300mm × 800mm. The prestress at ends is 1300kN with zero eccentricity at the supports and an eccentricity of 250 mm at the center, the cable profile being parabolic. Assuming k =0.15/ 100m and μ = 0.35, determine the loss of stress due to friction at the center of the beam.

2(b) A simply supported prestressed T-beam of 16m span has the following properties. Top flange-width and thickness are 500 mm and 200 mm, Depth and thickness of the web are 600 mm and 200 mm respectively. The beam is prestressed with HT steel of c/s area of 2000 mm2. The cable profile is parabolic with an eccentricity of 600 mm at the center of the span and 300 mm at the support section. The effective prestress in the tendons is 1000N/mm2.
