Question
A reinforced concrete cantilever beam is shown
below. The beam cross section is a rectangle,
12 inches deep by 18 inches wide.
Material properties are:
- Concrete weight: wt = 150 pcf
- Concrete compressive strength: f'c = 4000 psi
- Concrete tensile strength: f't = 400 psi
- Steel tensile strength: fy = 60 ksi
- Stirrup consists of #4 bar
- Beam is not exposed to weather or in contact
with soil.
Determine if the beam will crack under its own weight, if its self-weight is 250lb/ft.
