Civil Engineering > GATE 2026 SET-2 > Prestressed Concrete
A 250 mm wide ร 600 mm deep rectangular concrete beam is prestressed by means of 4 high-tensile tendons, each of 14 mm diameter. The centre of the tendons is 200 mm from the soffit of the beam. The effective stress in each tendon is 700 N/mm2.
The maximum bending moment (in kN-m), that can be applied to the section without causing tension at the soffit of the beam due to prestressing only, is ______ (rounded off to one decimal place).
Use ฯ = 3.14
