REINFORCED CONCRETE DESIGN

A hollow rectangular beam 300mm x 600mm has a thickness of 75 mm throughout its perimeter is reinforced with 4 pcs of 25 mm
diameter rebar. The steel covering is 50 mm. Use fc’ = 20.7 MPa and fy = 276 MPa.
a. Determine the depth of compression block.
b. Determine the moment capacity of the beam, assuming a reduction factor of 0.90.
c. Determine the actual strain of the reinforcement.
d. Determine the actual reduction factor.
e. Determine the safe live load that the beam can carry in kN/m if it is carrying a superimposed dead load of 20 kN at its midspan. The
beam span is 6 m. Use unit weight of concrete of 24 kN/m 3.
