Chapter 2

The document contains a series of problems related to the analysis and design of reinforced concrete beams for flexure, focusing on calculating tension steel areas, ultimate moment capacities, and balanced steel ratios. Each problem specifies dimensions, material strengths, and loading conditions for various beam configurations. The problems are intended for students in a civil engineering course, specifically for the analysis of beams using the provisions of the NSCP 2015.
