• Shear and moments on members can be found using statics methods and beam tables from Chapter 11
Strength DesignStrength Design
• Strength design is based using the rectangular stress block
• The stress in the prestressing steel at nominal strength, fps, can be determined by strain compatibility or by an approximate empirical equation
• For elements with compression reinforcement, the nominal strength can be calculated by assuming that the compression reinforcement yields. Then verified.
• The designer will normally choose a section and reinforcement and then determine if it meets the basic design strength requirement:

• By strain compatibility, compression steel yields if:
• If compression steel has not yielded, calculation for “a” must be revised by substituting actual stress for yield stress
• Non prestressed members should always be tension controlled, therefore c / dt < 0.375
• Add compression reinforcement to create tesnion controlled secions

Detailing Requirements, StirrupsDetailing Requirements, Stirrups
• 135 degree hooks are required unless sufficient cover is supplied
• The 135 degree stirrup hooks are to be anchored around a longitudinal bar
• Torsion steel is in addition to shear steel
Detailing Requirements, Longitudinal SteelDetailing Requirements, Longitudinal Steel
• Placement of the bars should be around the perimeter
• Spacing should spaced at no more than 12 inches• Longitudinal torsion steel must be in addition to
required flexural steel (note at ends flexural demand reduces)
• Prestressing strand is permitted (@ 60ksi)• The critical section is at the end of simply supported
members, therefore U-bars may be required to meet bar development requirements
Serviceability RequirementsServiceability Requirements
• Three classifications for prestressed components– Class U: Uncracked– Class T: Transition– Class C: Cracked

reinforcement (if any)Step 4 – Create an equivalent force in topping if presentStep 5 – Calculate transformed section of all elements and
modular ratiosStep 6 – Iterate the location of the neutral axis until the
normal stress at this level is zeroStep 7 – Check Results with a a moment and force
