Stress due to Prestress Moment Formula Elements

Variables
Bending Stress in Section
Bending Stress in Section in the prestressed concrete section is the internal resistance of the section. Here it can be due to axial force, moment and eccentric load.
Symbol: f
Measurement: PressureUnit: MPa
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Prestressing Force
Prestressing Force is the force internally applied to the prestressed concrete section.
Symbol: F
Measurement: ForceUnit: kN
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Distance from Centroidal Geometric Axis
Distance from Centroidal Geometric Axis is the distance at which the prestressing force is acted on section when the tendons are placed in some other point above or below the centroidal axis.
Symbol: e
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Distance from Centroidal Axis
Distance from Centroidal Axis defines the distance from the extreme fiber of the concrete section to centroidal axis of the section.
Symbol: y
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Moment of Inertia of Section
Moment of Inertia of section is defined as a property of a two-dimensional plane shape that characterizes its deflection under loading.
Symbol: Ia
Measurement: Second Moment of AreaUnit: mm⁴
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
