Question

A reinforced concrete beam has the following properties:

  • beam with, b=320mm
  • effective depth, d=640 mm
  • concrete strength, f′c=25MPa
  • reinforcing steel, fy=400 MPa
  • reinforcing steel modulus, Es=200,000 MPa
  • service dead load moment 350=kN−m
  1. If the beam is to be designed for balanced condition, find the required area of steel reinforcement, in
    sq. mm.
  2. 2. Find the maximum design moment in kN-m if the beam is to be designed as singly reinforced.
A reinforced concrete beam has the following properties:
beam with, b=320mm
effective depth, d=640 mm
concrete strength, f'c=25MPA
reinforcing steel, fy=400 MPa
reinforcing steel modulus, Es=200,000 MPa
service dead load moment 350=kN-m
a. If the beam is to be designed for balanced condition, find the required area of steel reinforcement, in
sq. mm.
b. Find the maximum design moment in kN-m if the beam is to be designed as singly reinforced.
