# Understanding Concrete Beam Design## Problem Statement:We have a **rectangular reinforced concrete beam** with the following details:- Dimensions: - Width (\( b \)) = 14 inches - Depth (\( d \)) = 25 inches - Height (\( h \)) = 28 inches- Reinforcement: - Three No. 10 bars- Material Strengths: - Yield strength of steel (\( f_y \)) = 60,000 psi - Compressive strength of concrete (\( f'_c \)) = 5,000 psi### Tasks:a. **Cracking Moment:** - Calculate based on the uncracked transformed section.b. **Maximum Moment without Excessive Stress:** - Determine the maximum moment the beam can carry without: - Concrete stress exceeding 0.45 \( f'_c \) - Steel stress exceeding 0.6 \( f_y \) - **Hint:** Assume the maximum compressive stress in the concrete is 0.45 \( f'_c \). Check if the maximum steel stress reaches 0.6 \( f_y \). This helps identify which limit is reached first.c. **Nominal Moment Capacity:** - Calculate the nominal moment capacity of the beam.This problem requires understanding the material properties and structural design principles to ensure the beam's performance under various stress conditions.

1) A rectangular reinforced concrete beam with dimensions b = 14 in, d = 25 in, and h = 28 in is reinforced with three No. 10 bars. Material strengths are fy = 60000 psi and fc' = 5000 psi. a. Find the cracking moment based on the uncracked transformed section b. Determine the maximum moment that can be carried without stressing the concrete beyond 0.45fc' or the steel beyond 0.6fy. Hint: Assume maximum compressive stress in the concrete to be 0.45fc' and check whether the maximum steel stress reaches 0.6fy. This way you can check which one is reached first Find the nominal moment capacity of the beam C.

The point loads are placed at the fixed positions shown in the figure and they are live loads.

Q2) Now, the live load increases gradually and the moment at the critical section just exceeds the cracking moment (Mcr), but the compressive section of the concrete is still under the linear elastic region. Please be reminded that in the flexural design, the crack of the concrete section starts where the tensile stress reaches the tensile strength. It is assumed that the cracks then propagate rapidly up to the entire tension section (up to the neutral axis) and this cracked concrete section cannot resist the tension. It should be noted that in reality, concrete sections between the primary cracks can still resist some tensile stresses as shown in the figure, which should be considered in the displacement design. However, in flexure design, we design the critical section…
A rectangular concrete beam section, 300 mm wide by 600 mm deep, is reinforced with 4-32 mm diameter bars in the tension zone located 65 mm from the extreme tension fiber. It is also reinforced with 2-20 mm diameter bars in the compression zone also located at the same distance from the extreme compression fiber. Concrete strength F'c = 35 MPa. The yield strength of steel is 415 MPa and, the allowable stress of steel is 170 MPa. Determine the cracking moment, the elastic bending strength, and the nominal bending strength.
