    This document summarizes the prestress losses estimated for a pre-tensioned concrete T-section beam. It estimates losses due to 1) steel relaxation of 12%, 2) elastic deformation of 8.2% at the end span and 7.6% at mid-span, 3) concrete shrinkage of 4.8%, and 4) concrete creep of 13.9% at mid-span. The total estimated loss is 38.3% at mid-span. Stress checks confirm the compressive stresses in the concrete remain within allowable limits at transfer and service.

    EXAMPLE Prestress loss (Pre-tensioned member)

    T3 section

    Pj = 1263kN (11 Nos. 13mm Standard strands at 70% of breaking load)


    e = 80mm
    I = 3.244 x 109 mm4
    Es = 200 kN/mm2
    Ac = 114275 mm2
    Ast = 93 mm2
    fcu = 52.5 N/mm2 , fci = 40.0N/mm2 (7 days)
    Loss estimate = 30%

    1) Steel relaxation

    1000h normal relaxation = 8% (Relax. Class 1, BS 5896, Table 6)


    steel at 70% of breaking load

    Relaxation factor = 1.5


    (BS8110 : Pt.1, Table 4.6)

    Full loss = 1.5 x 8%


    = 12% (151.5 kN)

    Loss before transfer = 50% x Full loss


    = 6% (75.8 kN)

    2) Elastic deformation

    Prestress force = P = Pj - (0.5 x Full relaxation loss)


    = 1263kN - 75.8kN = 1187kN

    Ec at transfer (7 days)

    Ec,t = Ec,28 (0.4 + 0.6 )

    = 30 (0.4 + 0.6 )

    = 25 kN/mm2

    At end span i.e. L = 0,

    fcp = +

    = +

    = 10.39 + 2.34

    = 12.7 N/mm2
    At mid-span i.e. L = L/2,

    fcp = 12.7 -

    = 12.7

    = 12.7 1.0

    = 11.7 N/mm2

    Elastic deformation loss = m fcp

    M= = = 8

    Therefore, elastic deformation loss

    L = 0 8 x 12.7 = 101.6 N/mm2

    L = L/2 8 x 11.7 = 93.6 N/mm2

    Stress in strands = = 1234.6 N/mm2

    % loss at L = 0 x 100% = 8.2%

    % loss at L/2 x 100% = 7.6%

    3) Concrete shrinkage

    Final free shrinkage strain = 300 x 10-6 st (Alternatively obtained value from
    estimation (pre-tensioned) chart in BS8110, Pt2, 1985)

    Loss = 300 x 10-6 x 200 x 11 x 93


    = 61.4 kN

    % loss = x 100% = 4.8%

    4) Concrete creep

    Final creep strain = cc = x

    At mid-span,

    Prestress force = 1263kN (6% + 7.6%) 1263kN


    after transfer

    Pi = 1091 kN
    fcp = + -

    = + -

    = 9.55 + 2.15 1.0

    = 10.7 N/mm2

    Effective thickness = = = 102.5 mm

    Relative humidity = 90% (outdoor)


    Age at transfer = 7 days

    From chart 7.1, BS 8110 : Pt.2 : 1985,

    Thus, = 2.0

    cc = x 2.0

    = 856 x 10-6 st.

    Loss = 856 x 10-6 x 200 x 11 x 93

    = 175.1 kN

    % loss = x 100% = 13.9%

    Loss at transfer = 6% + 8.2%


    at end span (L = 0)
    = 14.2%

    Full loss at service = 12% + 7.6% + 4.8% + 13.9%


    at mid-span (L = L/2)
    = 38.3%
    STRESS CHECK
