Pre-tension = 40 N/mm2.
Post-tension = 30 N/mm2.

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.

I think E is the correct answer.

Makar said:   8 years ago
This option is correct min grade 35.

Pawan yadav said:   8 years ago
Min grade of pre-tension m40.

Min grade of post-tension m35.

@Binosh.

It is (a). In post, tension losses are less.

Binosh said:   9 years ago
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.

Pre-tensioned and post-tension is the type of prestress beam.

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

M35 for Post-tensioned concrete.

M40 for Pre-tensioned concrete.

Right @Saksham.

The min grade of concrete for pre tension is m40.
