A reinforced concrete beam having a width of 350mm and a overall depth of 600 mm is reinforced with 3-25mm compression bars & 8-25mm tension bars. Concrete covering is 60 mm from the centroid of the bar group. Unit weight of concrete is 23.60 Kn/M3. Concrete Strength, fc’ = 21 MPa, Steel Strength, fy = 415 MPa. Other than the weight of the beam, the beam will support a uniform live load. A. Determine the balanced tension steel area. B. Determine the Ultimate Moment Capacity of the beam.
