A reinforced concrete beam has a width of 250 mm and a total depth of 450 mm. It is reinforced with a total steel area of 1875 mm² placed at an effective depth of 375 mm. fe = 27.6MPA, fy = 414.7 MPa Es = 200,000 MPa a. Compute the depth of the compression block b. Compute the moment capacity reduction factor. c. Compute the safe live load that the beam (with simple supports at both ends) could carry in addition to a dead load of 20 kN/m if it has a span of 6m.
