verification problem 1-009 RE: prestressing, bug?
(OP)
In this problem, apparently the prestressing force at both ends is not self-equilibrated. There should be some reactions at the supports under this prestressing load case only.
Sap gives 0 reaction.
I think this is a bug.

<Disply> <Show Forces/Stresses> <joints> now select case/combo name: "PRE" --> prestress and that gives cero.
Also open the example with Adobe Reader and you can see that Th=216k on both ends is the same, the location of the tendon is different but it doesn't matter because the force is only horizontal, if it was a fixed end of course is different because it causes moment on the ends, but this is only horizontal force
