An unsymmetrical I section has an overall depth of 2000 mm. The top flange width and depth are equal to 1200 mm and 300 mm respectively, and the bottom flange width and depth are equal to 750 mm and 200 mm respectively. The thickness of the web is 300 mm. the tendons have a cross sectional area of 7000 mm2 and located 200 mm from the bottom. If the ultimate compressive strength and tensile strength of steel are 42 MPa and 1750 MPa, respectively and the tendons are effectively bonded to concrete. Estimate the flexural strength of the cross section.
