GATE CE 1990 | Prestressed Concrete Question 29 | Reinforced Cement Concrete

A rectangular simply supported prestressed concrete beam of span $$L$$ is subjected to a prestressing force of $$P$$ acting centrally at end sections and the prestress tendons are parabolically draped with maximum eccentricity of $${e_{\max }}$$ at the mid span section. The uniformly distributed upward load $$(W)$$ on the beam due to prestressing will be:

$$16\,\,P\,{e_{\max }}/{L^2}$$

$$4\,\,P\,{e_{\max }}/{L^2}$$

$$12\,\,P\,{e_{\max }}/{L^2}$$

$$8\,\,P\,{e_{\max }}/{L^2}$$
