The net stress in the prestressed section The resultant stress due to the combined effect of applied loads and pre-stress force is given as: At the ends of the beam where there is no moment the MC/I =0 , the stress becomes
The kern of a section is the region in which a compressive point load may be applied without producing any tensile stress on the cross section.
Shapes of pre-stressed sections: Rectangular shape: Simple and easy to pour I-Section and T-section: Economical Channels and Boxes
Prestress losses The initial prestress becomes smaller with time due to following reasons: A lump sum value has been recommended by ACI Code
