Variables Used
Eccentricity Variation of Tendon A - (Measured in Meter) - Eccentricity Variation of Tendon A is the variation considered when the parabolic tendons are used for prestressing of a beam.
Eccentricity at End for A - (Measured in Meter) - Eccentricity at End for A is the distance by which the tendon is eccentrically placed from CG of the section at the ends.
Change in Eccentricity at A - (Measured in Meter) - Change in Eccentricity at A is the value for eccentricity considering the end and mid span of parabolic tendon. Here, the value above is for tendon A.
Distance from Left End - (Measured in Meter) - Distance from Left End is the distance considered from the left jacking end on a prestressed member.
Length of Beam in Prestress - (Measured in Meter) - Length of Beam in Prestress is the center to center distance between the supports or the effective length of the beam.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Eccentricity at End for A: 10.02 Millimeter --> 0.01002 Meter (Check conversion here)
Change in Eccentricity at A: 10 Millimeter --> 0.01 Meter (Check conversion here)
Distance from Left End: 10.1 Millimeter --> 0.0101 Meter (Check conversion here)
Length of Beam in Prestress: 10.2 Meter --> 10.2 Meter No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
EA(x) = eA1+(4*ΔeA*x/L)*(1-(x/L)) --> 0.01002+(4*0.01*0.0101/10.2)*(1-(0.0101/10.2))
Evaluating ... ...

Distinguish between Concentric and Eccentric Prestressing?

The concentric or axial prestressing members in which the entire cross section of concrete has a uniform compressive prestress. In this type the centroid of the tendon coincides
with that of the concrete section. Where as in eccentric prestressing is a section at which the tendons are eccentric to the centroid, resulting in a triangular or trapezoidal compressive stress distribution.
