Modulus of Elasticity of Prestressed Steel given Compression Force Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Prestressed Young's Modulus = Total Compression on Concrete/(Area of Prestressing Steel*Strain)
Ep = Cc/(As*ε)
This formula uses 4 Variables
Variables Used
Prestressed Young's Modulus - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Prestressed Young's Modulus is in essence the stiffness of a material or how easily it is bended or stretched in prestressed members.
Total Compression on Concrete - (Measured in Newton) - Total Compression on Concrete is the total compressive force acting on the section.
Area of Prestressing Steel - (Measured in Square Meter) - Area of Prestressing Steel is the total cross sectional area of tendons.
Strain - Strain is simply the measure of how much an object is stretched or deformed.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Total Compression on Concrete: 750 Newton --> 750 Newton No Conversion Required
Area of Prestressing Steel: 20.2 Square Millimeter --> 2.02E-05 Square Meter (Check conversion ​here)

What does Compression Force Mean?

The Compression Force (Tp) for a Prestressed Section are induced in prestressed concrete either by pretensioning or post-tensioning the steel reinforcement. In pretensioning, the steel is stretched before the concrete is placed. Compression force (or compressive force) occurs when a physical force presses inward on an object, causing it to become compacted. There can also be different results depending on the direction or position on the object that the compressive force is applied.

What are Prestressed Members?

In a prestressed concrete member, the internal stresses are introduced in a planned manner so that the stresses resulting from the superimposed loads are counteracted to the desired degree.
The principle behind prestressed concrete is that compressive stresses induced by high-strength steel tendons in a concrete member before loads are applied will balance the tensile stresses imposed in the member during service.
