A Singly Reinforced Concrete Beam has a cross-section of 300mm x 600mm and a span of 6.5 meters. It is reinforced with 5-25mm diameter bar in one row. The concrete clear cover is 40mm and the traverse reinforcement (stirrups) that was used was 12mm. Currently the beam is carrying a uniform load of 18 kN/m for dead load and live load. Given the following properties of beam, determine the maximum additional uniform load that the beam can carry aside from the initial load that was stated. fs = 124 mPa fc = 7 mPa n = 12

Question
A Singly Reinforced Concrete Beam has a cross-section of 300mm x 600mm and a span of 6.5 meters. It is reinforced with 5-25mm diameter bar in one row. The concrete clear cover is 40mm and the traverse reinforcement (stirrups) that was used was 12mm. Currently the beam is carrying a uniform load of 18 kN/m for dead load and live load.
Given the following properties of beam, determine the maximum additional uniform load that the beam can carry aside from the initial load that was stated.
fs = 124 mPa
fc = 7 mPa
n = 12
