A rectangular concrete beam 250 mm wide and 600 mm deep is pre-stressed by means of 16 high tensile wires, each of 7 mm diameter, located at200 mm from the bottom face of the beam at a given section. If the effective pre-stress in the wires is700 M Pa, what is the maximum sagging bending moment (in kN-m) (correct to 1-decimal place) due to live load that this section of the beam can withstand without causing tensile stress at the bottom face of the beam?
