Precast/Prestressed Girder Help

MATERIALS

Cast in place slab

Thickness actual = 200 mm

ts structural = 190 mm

Concrete strength at 28 days f`c = 28.0 MPa

Concrete unit weight wc = 23.56 kN/m3

Concrete density yc = 2403 kg/m3

Precast beams:

NU-1600 Precast prestressed girder, as shown in Figure 15, “NU-1600 Girder,” on page 18.

Concrete strength at release f`c = 35.0 MPa

Concrete strength at 28 days fc = 45.0 MPa

Concrete unit weight wc = 23.56 kN/m3

Concrete density yc = 2403 kg/m3

Precast beam length = 30000 mm (End Span)

= 32700 mm (Center Span)

Design Span (Figure 9, “Component Forces of Total Prestress Force,” on page 8)

For non-composite beam = 29700 mm (End Span)

= 32400 mm (Center Span)

For composite beam = 30000 mm (End Span)

= 33000 mm (Center Span)

Prestressing strands:

12.7 mm diameter, low relaxation.

Area of one strand = 98.7 mm2

Ultimate strength fpu = 1861.580 MPa

Yield strengthfpy = 0.9 fpu[LRFD Table 5.4.4.1-1]

= 1675.422 MPa.

Stress limits for prestressing strands [LRFD Table 5.9.3-1]

Before transfer f p u 0.75 f p u

1396.328 M P a

At service limit state (after all losses)

f p e 0.80 f p y

1340.338 M P a
