Plate 1 To Be Print

The document contains 6 problems related to the design and analysis of reinforced concrete beams. Problem 1 asks to determine the moment capacity of a beam with given dimensions, reinforcement, and material properties. Problem 2 asks for the ultimate moment capacity, failure type, and reinforcement ratio of a beam. Problem 3 asks for the same outputs as Problem 2 for a different beam. Problem 4 asks for the maximum moment and required reinforcement of a beam under given loads. Problem 5 asks for the ultimate moment capacity of a triangular beam. Problem 6 asks to determine the dimensions and reinforcement of a beam to support given loads.

1. A reinforced concrete beam has a width of 300mm and a total depth of 450mm.

The
longitudinal bars at the top are 2-28mm and 4-32mm at the bottom. Concrete strength is
f'c=21 MPa and steel yield strength fy=275 MPa. The steel cover is 70mm (for both top and
bottom steel). Determine the moment capacity (kN-m) of the beam. Use WSD.
(Hint: To transform the compression steel area, multiply it by (2n-1); To transform tension
steel area, multiply it by n)
2. The beam shown has the following properties: concrete cover=40mm, ds= 10mm, f'c=21
MPa, and fy=280 MPa. Determine the ultimate moment capacity of the beam in kN-m.
Determine also the type of failure and the beam condition (under-reinforced, over-reinforced
or balanced condition)
3. The beam shown has the following properties: steel cover=60mm, f'c=21 MPa, and fy=420
MPa. Determine the ultimate moment capacity of the beam in kN-m. Determine also the
type of failure and the beam condition (under-reinforced, over-reinforced or balanced
condition)
4. A beam is simply supported on a span of 5meters and carries the following loads:
 Superimposed dead load = 16 kN/m
 Live Load = 14 kN/m
 Properties
 b=300mm 
 d=380mm
 h=450mm
 f'c=30MPa
 fy=415MPa
 L=5m
 Specific Gravity=2.4
Determine the following: 
a) Maximum Moment at ultimate condition (kN-m)
b) Find the number of 16mm bars required if the design moment at ultimate loads is 200 kN-
m
c) If the beam carries an ultimate concentrated load of 50 kN at midspan, what is the
number of 16mm bars required
5. A triangular beam having a base width of 300mm has a total depth of 600mm. It is
reinforced with 3-12mm bars placed at 70mm above the bottom of the beam. f'c=20.7 MPa,
fy=414 MPa. Calculate the ultimate moment capacity of the beam in kN-m.
6. Determine the dimensions of a rectangular beam and the required number of 25mm bars
that will carry the following loads:
 DL =85 kN-m
 LL=61.875 kN-m
 The span of the beam is 8800mm. Assume simply supported condition.
 The properties are as follows:
 f'c = 27.6 MPa and fy=414.7 MPa. 
 Company standard for beam width is b=0.4h. Dimensions should be a multiple of
50mm's
