A rectangular reinforced concrete beam has b=300mm and d=480mm, concrete strength f'c=34 mpa and steel yield strength fy=415 MPa. Compression reinforcement, if necessary, will be placed 70 mm from the extreme concrete in compression. For this problem, the dead load moment is 140 kn-m and the live load moment is 180 kn-m.   a.) what is the value of the required moment in kn-m? b.) what is the value of the maximum steel ratio when the beam is singly reinforced? c.) what is the required tension steel area in mm^2?

Question

A rectangular reinforced concrete beam has b=300mm and d=480mm, concrete strength f'c=34 mpa and steel yield strength fy=415 MPa. Compression reinforcement, if necessary, will be placed 70 mm from the extreme concrete in compression. For this problem, the dead load moment is 140 kn-m and the live load moment is 180 kn-m.

 

a.) what is the value of the required moment in kn-m?

b.) what is the value of the maximum steel ratio when the beam is singly reinforced?

c.) what is the required tension steel area in mm^2?

 

if M(subscript)d= 250 kn-m and M(subscript)L= 240 kn-m

d.) determine the required tension steel area in mm^2

e.) determine the required compression steel area in mm^2
