What will be the maximum possible uniformly distributed load (inclusive of self-weight) over the entire span of a simply supported beam of span ‘L’ such that the deflection at midspan at service condition is zero? The cross-section is rectangular. The Prestressing force ‘P’ is applied with uniform eccentricity ‘e’. Assume no losses.

1.	What will be the maximum possible uniformly distributed load (inclusive of self-weight) over the entire span of a simply supported beam of span ‘L’ such that the deflection at midspan at service condition is zero? The cross-section is rectangular. The Prestressing force ‘P’ is applied with uniform eccentricity ‘e’. Assume no losses.
