Q#1 (a) Design the cross-section of the simply supported beam designed in class considering a limit in the beam height imposed by the architect of 20 in. Assume a distributed live load of 2.0 kip/ft, a dead load (including the self-weight) of 1.0 kip/ft, concrete strength of 4000 psi, and Grade 60 steel bars. Comment on the result by comparing the two designs using a shorted cross section. 24' Q#1 (b) Re-design the cross-section of the simply supported beam designed in problem-1 using stronger concrete with a compressive strength of 5,000 psi. In your design assume a distributed live load of 2.0 kip/ft, a dead load of 1.0 kip/ft and Grade 60 steel bars. However, in this case the dead load does not include the self-weight. Comment on the result by comparing the two designs using different compressive strength and accounting for the self-weight.

Q#1 (b)
Re-design the cross-section of the simply supported beam designed in problem-1 using stronger
concrete with a compressive strength of 5,000 psi. In your design assume a distributed live load of 2.0
kip/ft, a dead load of 1.0 kip/ft and Grade 60 steel bars. However, in this case the dead load does not
include the self-weight.
Comment on the result by comparing the two designs using different compressive strength and
accounting for the self-weight.
