PROBLEM 2: A simply supported beam carries a concentrated load at mid-span. Neglecting the weight of the beam, this load produces an ultimate design positive moment of 300KN-m. The beam is reinforced with 4D25mm deformed bars, with b=375mm, d=500mm, fy=415 MPa and fc’ = 35MPa.
A. Determine the theoretical cut-off point, measured from the support, of 50 % of the positive bars.
B. If the transverse reinforcement is provided by 10mm diameter stirrups with 40mm concrete cover and maximum spacing of 200mm, what is the minimum development length required for the 25mm diameter rebars, using the basic equation?
