1. A 340 x 660mm beam is to carry a 660KNm load using concrete and steel with strengths of 21MPa and 350MPa respectively. Design the number of bars using 25mm and 25mm compression and tension bars respectively. What is the capacity moment? Is the beam singly or doubly reinforced? Is there a need to reduce the tension steel area? Does the compression bars yield? What is the stress in the compression steel? Use 40mm clear cover and 12mm stirrup. Assume tension bars are arranged in a single layer only
