Q.: A simply supported beam has an effective span of 6.0 m and subjected to a uniformly distributed
working dead and live loads of 10 and 12 kN/m, respectively. Calculate ultimate loads that the
beam should be designed for if:
a) It is subjected to the dead load only, and

Working DL =10 kN/m

300 5.70 m 300
mm mm

b) It is subjected to dead and live loads simultaneously.

Working DL = 10 kN/m + working LL= 12 kN/m

300 5.70 m 300

mm mm

Q.2. For the beam of Q.1., what are the required maximum shear force (V u) and bending
moments (Mu) that the beam should be designed for?
