    The document discusses calculating the limits of the tendon centroid location for prestressed concrete beams. It provides equations to calculate the lower and upper limits of the eccentricity (ex) based on the initial and final stress states in the concrete and steel. Sample calculations are shown for a beam with given parameters to determine the allowable range of ex at the support, quarter span, and midspan. The lower limit ensures stresses do not exceed limits in initial unloaded state, while the upper limit checks the final loaded state.

    TENDON PROFILES

    For members with variable eccentricity, elsewhere along the span, the eccentricity of the tendon must be reduced if
    the concrete stress limits for the unloaded stage are not exceeded.

    Lower Limit:

    Considering first the unloaded stage, we find the tensile stress at the top of the beam not exceed fti

    𝑃𝑖 𝑃𝑖(𝑒𝑥 ) 𝑀𝑜𝑥
    𝑓𝑡𝑖 ≤ − + −
    𝐴𝑐 𝑆𝑡 𝑆𝑡

    Solving for the maximum eccentricity, we obtain

    𝑓𝑡𝑖(𝑆𝑡) 𝑆𝑡 𝑀𝑜𝑥
    𝑒𝑥 ≤ + +
    𝑃𝑖 𝐴𝑐 𝑃𝑖

    At the bottom of the unloaded beam, the stress must not exceed the limiting initial compression

    𝑃𝑖 𝑃𝑖(𝑒𝑥 ) 𝑀𝑜𝑥
    𝑓𝑐𝑖 ≤ − − +
    𝐴𝑐 𝑆𝑏 𝑆𝑏

    Hence, the second lower limit for the steel centroid is

    𝑓𝑐𝑖(𝑆𝑏) 𝑆𝑏 𝑀𝑜𝑥
    𝑒𝑥 ≤ − − +
    𝑃𝑖 𝐴𝑐 𝑃𝑖

     Note: Adopt the smaller value of ex

    Upper Limit:

    Now, considering the member in fully loaded stage, the upper limit values for the eccentricity may be found

    𝑃𝑒 𝑃𝑒(𝑒𝑥 ) 𝑀𝑡𝑥
    𝑓𝑐𝑠 ≥ − + −
    𝐴𝑐 𝑆𝑡 𝑆𝑡

    From which,

    𝑓𝑐𝑠(𝑆𝑡) 𝑆𝑡 𝑀𝑡𝑥
    𝑒𝑥 ≥ + +
    𝑃𝑒 𝐴𝑐 𝑃𝑒

    At the bottom of the unloaded beam, the stress must not exceed the limiting initial compression

    𝑃𝑒 𝑃𝑒(𝑒𝑥 ) 𝑀𝑡𝑥
    𝑓𝑡𝑠 ≥ − − +
    𝐴𝑐 𝑆𝑏 𝑆𝑏

    Hence, the second lower limit for the steel centroid is

    𝑓𝑡𝑠(𝑆𝑏) 𝑆𝑏 𝑀𝑡𝑥
    𝑒𝑥 ≥ − − +
    𝑃𝑒 𝐴𝑐 𝑃𝑒

     Note: Adopt the larger value of ex
