HOW TO SET DEPTH IN CASE OF PRESTRESS BEAMS
HOW TO SET DEPTH IN CASE OF PRESTRESS BEAMS
(OP)
When designing a sysmetrical Pre-stress beam what depth or how we should assume the depth ..is there any formula for that...
and in case of I-Section design of Prestress beam is there any formula for setting out the assumed dimensions for the web and other ddimensions

RE: HOW TO SET DEPTH IN CASE OF PRESTRESS BEAMS
If you are working on a post-tension design, then the sky's the limit. Or you could refer to the Post-Tensioning Institute's (PTI) literature for guidance.
All of the above the intitues are on-line.
The beam depth, while conforms to standards, is a function of the load, span, and prestress limits.
