Q3// For the simply supported prestressed concrete beam shown in Fig. 3, determine the depth of section (h) and the required area of prestress steel (Aps) to cause zero tensile stresses in concrete at both initial and service stages. Assume total losses (20%), initial prestress stress (fi= 1000 N/mm²), and ye = 25 kN/m³. P₁=60 kN (25 marks) h/2 Fig.3 6 m 6 m h/3 Aps b=370 mm
