Prestressing Force given Compressive Stress Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Prestressing Force = Area of Beam Section*Compressive Stress in Prestress
F = A*σ_c
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Prestressing Force - (Measured in Kilonewton) - Prestressing Force is the force internally applied to the prestressed concrete section.
Area of Beam Section - (Measured in Square Millimeter) - Area of Beam Section here refers to the area of cross section of the concrete section where the prestressing force was applied.
Compressive Stress in Prestress - (Measured in Pascal) - Compressive Stress in Prestress is the force that is responsible for the deformation of the material such that the volume of the material reduces.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Area of Beam Section: 200 Square Millimeter --> 200 Square Millimeter No Conversion Required
Compressive Stress in Prestress: 2 Pascal --> 2 Pascal No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

F = A*σ_c --> 200*2

Evaluating ... ...

F = 400

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

400000 Newton -->400 Kilonewton (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

400 Kilonewton <-- Prestressing Force

(Calculation completed in 00.021 seconds)

What is the advantage of Prestressed Members?

The essence of prestressed concrete is that once the initial compression has been applied, the resulting material has the characteristics of high-strength concrete when subject to any subsequent compression forces and of ductile high-strength steel when subject to tension forces. This can result in improved structural capacity and/or serviceability compared with conventionally reinforced concrete in many situations.
