A singly reinforced rectangular beam is to be designed, with effective depth approximately 1.5 times the width, to carry a service live load of 2000 lb/ft in addition to its own weight, on a 24 ft simple span. The ACI Code load factors are to be applied as usual. With fy = 60,000 psi and fc' = 4000 psi, determine the required concrete dimensions b, d, and h, and steel reinforcing bars (a) for p = 0.6000.00s and (b) for p-Po.005. Include a sketch of each cross section drawn to scale. Allow for No. 4 stirrups.

Design criteria for structural loading

The different loads such as loads due to self-weight (dead load) and external loads such as live load, wind loads, seismic load, snow load, and other loads and load combinations that influence the design of a building are called structural loading. The nature of the applied load differs from changes in the location, design, and type of materials used. The design criteria require that structures must be designed and constructed to be able to withstand all load types that are expected to act upon the structure and render its usage for the designated purpose. The structural members such as beams, slabs, columns, and foundations help the structure to withstand the applied load. There are different institutes such as ASCE and ACI that provide building design codes to assure minimum safety requirements and quality of the structures.
