Question
A reinforced concrete beam has a width of 300 mm and an effective depth of 618 mm.
Compressive reinforcement will be placed at d' = 60 mm, f'c = 28 MPa and fy = 415 MPa. Use
Ø = 0.9 for flexure and load combination of U= 1.2DL + 1.6LL. Reference: NSCP 2015.
a. Calculate the steel ratio for a balanced section, phal-
b.
Calculate the maximum steel ratio for a tension-controlled section, pmax.
d.
c. If the beam is to support a bending moment of 240 kN-m from dead load and 195
kN-m from live load, determine the required design flexural strength of the section.
If the beam is to support a bending moment of 240 kN-m from dead load and 195
kN-m from live load, determine the number of 28 mmø bars required as tension
reinforcement.
