Design a rectangular reinforced concrete beam (tension steel only) for a simple span of 30 ft. There is no superimposed dead load (other than the weight of the beam) and the superimposed live load is 1.5 kip/ft. The beam is to be 12 in. wide and 27 in. deep overall. Use f′c=5000 psi and A615 grade 60 steel. As a check, calculate ϕMn for the beam designed.
