Average Stress for Parabolic Tendons Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Average Stress = Stress at End+2/3*(Stress at Midspan-Stress at End)
f_c,avg = f_c1+2/3*(f_c2-f_c1)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Average Stress - (Measured in Pascal) - Average Stress is the stress when parabolic tendons are used in prestressed section caused due to stress in concrete at end and mid span.
Stress at End - (Measured in Pascal) - Stress at End is the stress in concrete at the ends of the member.
Stress at Midspan - (Measured in Pascal) - Stress at Midspan refers to the stress in concrete due to tenons in the midspan of the member.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Stress at End: 10.006 Megapascal --> 10006000 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Stress at Midspan: 10.3 Megapascal --> 10300000 Pascal (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

f_c,avg = f_c1+2/3*(f_c2-f_c1) --> 10006000+2/3*(10300000-10006000)

Evaluating ... ...

f_c,avg = 10202000

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

10202000 Pascal -->10.202 Megapascal (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

10.202 Megapascal <-- Average Stress

(Calculation completed in 00.020 seconds)

How the Loss of Stress in Bending Members are found?

The calculation of loss for tendons stretched sequentially, is similar to post-tensioned
axial members. For curved profiles, the eccentricity of the CGS and hence, the stress in
concrete at the level of CGS vary along the length. An average stress in concrete can
be considered.
