A post-tensioned concrete member of span 15 m and cross-section of 450 mm $$\times$$ 450 mm is prestressed with three steel tendons, each of cross-sectional area 200 mm2. The tendons are tensioned one after another to a stress of 1500 MPa. All the tendons are straight and located at 125 mm from the bottom of the member. Assume the prestress to be the same in all tendons and the modular ratio to be 6. The average loss of prestress due to elastic deformation of concrete, considering all three tendons is

A
28.32 MPa
B
7.08 MPa
C
14.16 MPa
D

Consider two linearly elastic rods HI and IJ. Each of length b, as shown in the figure. The rods are co-linear, and confined between two fixed supports at if and J. Both the rods are initially stress free. The coefficient of linear thermal expansion is a for both the rods. The temperature of the rod IJ is raised by $$\Delta$$T whereas the temperature of rod HI remains unchanged. An external horizontal force P is now applied at node I. It is given that a = 10$$-$$6 $$^\circ$$C$$-$$1, $$\Delta$$T = 50$$^\circ$$C, b = 2m, AE = 106N. The axial rigidities of the rods HI and U are 2 AE and AE, respectively.
