A reinforced concrete beam 300 mm width has an effective depth of 450 mm. It is reinforced with 6 –32 mm Ф at the tension side and 2 – 28 mm Ф at the compression side located at 65 mm from the top. Fy = 345 MPa, fc’ = 34.5 MPa. Assume all steel yields and the contribution of compression steel may not be neglected.
