Question

A rectangular reinforced concrete beam has a width of 300 mm and
an effective depth of 450 mm to centroid of the tension bars. The
beam is reinforced with six 32 mm ɸ tension bars placed in two
layers with the outer layer having a depth of 478 mm, and two 28
mm ɸ compression bars with centroid 65 mm from the extreme concrete
fiber. Use the 2010 NSCP, fc’= 34.5 MPa and fy = 345 MPa. Assume
that the concrete displaced by the compression steel shall not be
neglected and that the compression steel yields. Det. the following:
19. The balanced steel ratio if the beam is singly reinforced.

a. 0.04607 b. 0.03555
c. 0.02721 d. 0.03672

20. The maximum steel ratio for a singly-reinforced section in
tension control.

a. 0.03555 b. 0.04607
c. 0.03672 d. 0.02721

21. The maximum steel ratio for a doubly-reinforced section in
tension control.

a. 0.02721 b. 0.03672
c. 0.03555 d. 0.04607
