A concrete beam prestressed with a parabolic tendon is shown in the sketch. The eccentricity of the tendon is measured from the centroid of the cross-section. The applied prestressing force at service is $$1620$$ $$kN.$$ The uniformly distributed load of $$45$$ $$kN/m$$ includes the self-weight. The stress (in $$N/m{m^2}$$) in the bottom fibre at mid-span is GATE CE 2012 Reinforced Cement Concrete - Prestressed Concrete Question 9 English
