For Post tensioning work minimum grade of concrete as specified in IS 1343 is M35, while for Pre-tension prestressed work grade of concrete specified in IS 1343 is M40.

Clause 6.1 Table 1 IS 1343.

M35 is minimum required concrete for prestressed concrete.

Here 35 is in N/mm2. So convert it into kg/cm2.

N/mm2 = 10 kg/cm2.

So 35 N/mm2 = 350 Kg/cm2.

So OPTION [D] IS CORRECT.

Prestressing losses in post-tensioned and pre-tensioned beams are respectively.

A) 15% and 20%
b) 20% and 15%
C) 15% and 15%
d) 20% and 20%.

Please tell me the answer.

They asked for "minimum" strength of concrete. So that answer is option D. Because from the pre-tensioning (M40) and post-tensioning (M35), the minimum strength is M35.

It is not clear from the question whether the prestressed concrete is pre-tension or post-tension.

If pre-tension = 40 N/mm2.

Post-tension = 35 N/mm2.

Suriya said:   9 years ago
Pre-tensioned and post-tension is the type of prestress beam.

So, the minimum concrete grade is option D = 350 kg/cm2.

For Post Tension Minimum Grade M30 and For Pre Tension Minimum Grade M40.

So the Answer is 300 kg/cm square.

Prestressed - minimum 35& maximum -40grade of concrete is used.
So, 35N/mm^2 or 350kg/cm^2 is correct.

PRASHANT said:   7 years ago
Here question is prestresses concrete not pre or pro-tension so, option 4 is right.

@Binosh.

The answer is A.

Post-tensioning loss is less than pre-tensioning loss.
