Problem1 - Solution 1 - Design of SRCB

This document summarizes the design of a simply supported reinforced concrete beam. The beam is 4.5 meters long and subjected to factored loads of 79.16 kN/m. The design calculates the required steel reinforcement ratio, diameter, area, and number of bars to resist the factored moment of 200.374 kN-m. It is verified that the design satisfies ductility and strength requirements, with a factored moment strength of 222.843 kN-m exceeding the ultimate moment of 211.126 kN-m. The beam is determined to be adequate for the applied loads.
