A rectangular concrete beam having a width of 200 mm and effective depth of 400 mm will be designed to carry the factored design load as stated. The steel yield strength Fy=275 MPa and concrete strength f’c=20.7 MPa. If the compression steel is found necessary, it will be placed 60 mm from the extreme compression fiber of the beam. Neglect the effect of the displaced concrete and use the 2010 NSCP. a) Determine the number of pieces of 20 mm diameter tension steel for a singly reinforced section to carry a factored design moment of 20 kN-m. b) Determine the number of pieces of 20 mm diameter tension steel for a reinforced concrete section to carry a factored design moment of 120 kN-m. c) Determine the number of pieces of 20 mm diameter compression steel for a reinforced concrete section to carry a factored design moment of 120 kN-m. d) Determine the number of pieces of 32 mm diameter tension steel for a reinforced concrete section to carry a factored design moment of 220 kN-m. e) Determine the number of pieces of 20 mm diameter compression steel for a reinforced concrete section to carry a factored design moment of 220 kN-m.

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.
