Computation #2

1. A rectangular reinf conc beam has f'c = 28 MPa and fy = 360 MPa. width of beam is 270 mm and
effective depth is 425 mm.

a. If As = 2700 mm^2, what is its ultimate moment capacity?

b. Wnat is the area of steel reinforcement at balanced condition?

c. What is the ultimate moment capacity when the stress in steel is 300 MPa?

d. what is the strain in steel when Mu = 250 kNm?

e. What is the ultimate moment capacity at balanced condition?

f. What is the ultimate moment capacity when the actual stress in steel is 250 MPa.

2. A rectangular beam is 300 mm x 600 mm, and with unit weight of 24kN/m^3. It is simply supported
on a 6.0 m simple span. it is designed to carry a 30kN/m uniform liveload and 20kN/m uniform deadload
other than its weight.

a. What is the total dead load moment in kNm?

b. What is the total live load moment in kNm?

c. What is the ultimate moment due to the loads, in kNm?
