A 300mm x 425 rectangular beam is reinforced for tension only with 4-28mm bars. The beam has a concrete cover of 40mm and a stirrup of 10mm diameter bar. The beam carries a live load and a dead load (without its self-weight). Given that unit weight of concrete is 24kN/ cu.m f'c = 21 MPa and fy = 414 MPa, calculate the additional concentrated live load as shown in the figure.

Q: 2. Another reinforced concrete beam has the following properties: • fy= 60 ksi • f= 5,000 psi • As =…

A: Modulus of elasticity(E)=26 kN/mm2,Yield strength(fy)=460 kN/mm2,Dead load(DL)=10 kN/m,Live…

Design criteria for structural loading

The different loads such as loads due to self-weight (dead load) and external loads such as live load, wind loads, seismic load, snow load, and other loads and load combinations that influence the design of a building are called structural loading. The nature of the applied load differs from changes in the location, design, and type of materials used. The design criteria require that structures must be designed and constructed to be able to withstand all load types that are expected to act upon the structure and render its usage for the designated purpose. The structural members such as beams, slabs, columns, and foundations help the structure to withstand the applied load. There are different institutes such as ASCE and ACI that provide building design codes to assure minimum safety requirements and quality of the structures.
