Situation 3: (30 points)

A simply supported interior concrete beam having a span of 5.00m and spaced 3.50m
center to center with the adjacent beams is used to support a concrete slab of
115mm thick constructed monolithically with the beams. It has a web width of 250mm,
total depth of 500mm, structural concrete cover from the centroid of reinforcement
equal to 50mm. The compressive strength of concrete used in the beam is 25MPa and
yielding strength of RSB is 345MPa. If the required moment due to factored loads
is 420kN-m, determine the following:

a. The effective flange width

b. Area of tension reinforcement
c. Yielding condition of the compression bars
