Question

A  rectangular beam of length 702mm has a width of 132mm and a depth of
301mm. Compression steel bars are placed at a distance 98 mm from the extreme concrete compressive
fiber. The beam supports service dead loads of dead load (16 KN/m)  and live load (24 KN/m). Reinforced with   4   25mm tension steel bars  and 4 12mm tension steel bars 

f′c = 42 MPa
fy = 519 MPa


1. Solve for the height of the neutral axis measured from the extreme compression fiber.
2. Solve for the design moment.
3. Solve for the strength reduction factor.
