Question
Solve each of the following problem indicated below. Present your complete-detail solution including the free- body diagrams. Box your only final answer, otherwise.
Problem 2.
A reinforced rectangular concrete beam has a width of 250 mm and
an effective depth of 360 mm. It is reinforced for tension only at the bottom
with a total tension steel area of 600 mm?. f. = 40 MPa, f, = 400 MPa.
(1) Determine the tension reinforcement index for this beam.
(2) Determine the distance of the neutral axis below the compression
surface.
(3) Determine the ultimate flexural strength (Mu) of the beam.
