Chapter 10, Problem 10.25QP

A pine wood specimen was prepared with actual dimensions of 50 mm × 50 mm × 250 mm and grain parallel to its length. The deformation was measured over a gauge length of 200 mm. The specimen was subjected to compression parallel to the grain to failure. The load–deformation results are as shown in Table P10.25.

A reinforced concrete beam with b=300mm, h=670mm,and d=600 mm, having a span of 7.3 m, can be considered as a fully fixed at the left support and simply supported at the right end. It is reinforced for positive bending with 8-16 and for negative bending with 4816 plus 418. Calculate the collapse load using the plastic hinge method. (20%)
