Question

A rectangular concrete beam has a width of 350 mm and an effective depth of 600 mm. The beam is simply supported over a span of 5 m and need to carry a uniform dead load of 24 kN/m and a unifrom live load of 35 kN/m. Assume f'c = 25 MPa and fy=275 MPa. d'= 60 mm

a) Determine the maximum tension steel area for  singly reinforced condition in sq. mm.

b) Determine the required tension steel area to counteract the load applied in sq. mm.

c) Determine the required number of 28 - mm tension bars.
