Q.: A single reinforced concrete rectangular beam is simply supported on a center to

center span of 4.5 m and a clear span of 4.2 m, is loaded with two concentrated
working DL of of 40 kN (Neglect the self-weight of the beam) b = 300 mm, h = 550
mm, d = 489 mm, As = 4#22=1520 mm2, fc’= 30 MPa and fy = 400 MPa. Calculate:
a) The DL deflection.
Pd = 40 kN Pd = 40 kN
