PROBLEM: Design a rectangular beam for a 10 m span to support a dead load of 15 kN/m (not including its own weight) and a live load of 20 kN/m. Use fc' = 21 MPa, and fy = 276 MPa. Assume weight of concrete is 23.5 kN/m'. Use p = 0.5pb. Use USD Method. Take d' = 70 mm. NOTE: The beam must be tension-controlled The tension steel must yield. Design only one layer of As in tension side. (You may assume any diameter of steel)

Design of beam in flexure (Using USD method)
PROBLEM: Design a rectangular beam for a 10 m span to support a dead load of 15 kN/m (not
including its own weight) and a live load of 20 kN/m. Use fc' = 21 MPa, and fy = 276 MPa. Assume
weight of concrete is 23.5 kN/m³. Use p = 0.5pb. Use USD Method. Take d' = 70 mm.
NOTE:
The beam must be tension-controlled
The tension steel must yield.
Design only one layer of As in tension side. (You may assume any diameter of steel)
