Design a rectangular section for the following beam considering the given loading. The weight of the beam is included in the given loading. Use pmax such that will not be less than 0.9. Show sketch of cross section including bar sizes, arrangement, and spacing. Verify that the bar layout will fit within the width of the selected beam cross section. Verify that the selected bars will not exceed the targeted reinforcing ratio (pmax). Assume normal weight concrete that weighs 150 pcf, fy = 60,000 psi, and fc' = 4000 psi. 10' PL = 35 kips WD = 2.5 k/ft 10¹-

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.
