11.2 ANALYSIS OF COMPOSITE SECTIONS FOR CONCRETE
STRESSES
The flexural stresses are calculated using elastic analysis. Let the flexural stress be
denoted as 4 the bending moment //and section modulus or elastic modulus Z
then
+ M
f= Z
and the bending moment is computed from the self weight of the precast unit
and the weight of wet cast / svtu slab concrete in case of unpropped
construction. On the other hand, in propped construction, the weight of concrete
is not considered as the propping of the beam relieves the weight of the wet concrete in the /7 s/tu slab.
EXAMPLE 11.1 A precast pretensioned beam of span 6 m is of size 125 x 250
mm. The prestressing force is applied through bottom kern point. An initial
prestressing force of 250 kN was applied with a loss of prestress 15%. The cast /7
situ slab is of 450 x 40 mm. The composite beam supports a live load of 5 kN/m.
Calculate the resultant stresses developed in the precast unit and cast /n svt slab
assuming the pretensioned unit as (i) unpropped and (ii) propped during casting
of slab. Assume the modulus of elasticity of Sipser the precast unit as 1.25
times the modulus of elasticity of the cast. in situ slab®
Solution:
