Introduction
Cable layout design is an important task for the realistic design of prestressed concrete structures. Due to friction, effective prestress force along the span of beam decreases, hence cable layout design should be carried out considering the realistic forces. Some of the prominent reported work in the area of cable layout design are as follows.Akhtar et.al (2008) carried FEA analysis of prestressed concrete beams using B-spline cable profile for non friction conditions. Brandt(1989) and Kirsch (1973,93) have carried out cable layout optimization using mathematical programming methods. Lin (1963) presented load balancing method for design and analysis of prestressed concrete structures using straight and parabolic tendon profile.
