Situation 17: A rectangular beam has a width of 300mm and an effective depth to the centroid of the tension reinforcement of 600mm. The tension reinforcement has an area of 4762mm2 and the area of compression reinforcement placed 62.5mm from the compression face of the beam is 987.5mm2 fy=414.6 MPa, fc’=34.56 MPa. Balanced steel ratio is 0.034. Assume that steel yields. Determine the depth of compression block. Determine the design strength. Determine the concentrated live loads at the midspan in addition to a dead load of 20kN/m including the weight of the beam if it has a span of 6m.

Situation 17: A rectangular beam has a width of 300mm and an effective depth to the centroid of the tension reinforcement of 600mm. The tension reinforcement has an area of 4762mm2 and the area of compression reinforcement placed 62.5mm from the compression face of the beam is 987.5mm2 fy=414.6 MPa, fc’=34.56 MPa. Balanced steel ratio is 0.034. Assume that steel yields.

  1. Determine the depth of compression block.
  2. Determine the design strength.
  3. Determine the concentrated live loads at the midspan in addition to a dead load of 20kN/m including the weight of the beam if it has a span of 6m.
