If the maximum dip of a parabolic tendon carrying tension P is h and the effective length of the pre-stressed beam is L, the upward uniform pressure will be
A)8hp/l
B)8hp/l²
C)8hl/p
D)8hl/p²

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The upward uniform pressure (w) exerted by a parabolic tendon in a prestressed beam can be calculated using the formula w = 8Ph/L², where P is the tension in the tendon, h is the maximum dip, and L is the effective length of the beam. Therefore, the correct formula is represented by option B) 8hp/l².
