span of 24 in. was loaded with a point load at midspan. The beam failed at a load of 2100 lb.
Using this information, determine the modulus of rupture fr of the concrete and compare with the
ACI-recommended value based on an assumed concrete strength f of 3000 psi.

Step 3 of 11

Calculate the moment of inertia of the cross section about the neutral axis of the beam.

Here, I is the moment of inertia of the cross section about the neutral axis of the beam.

Comment

Step 4 of 11

Substitute 6 in. for b and 6 in. for h.

Comment

Step 5 of 11

Calculate the maximum applied moment on the beam.

Here, M is the maximum applied moment on the beam, P is the point load applied on the beam,
and L is the span of the beam.

Comment

Step 6 of 11

Substitute 2,100 lb for P, 24 in. for L, and 0.036 kip/ft for w.

Comment

Step 7 of 11

Calculate the modulus of rupture using the flexural relation.

Here, is the allowable bending stress, c is the distance from the neutral axis to the outside
tension or compression fiber of the beam, and is the modulus of rupture.

Comment

Step 8 of 11

The distance from the neutral axis to the outside tension or compression fiber of the beam is half
the depth of the beam since the neutral axis lies at the center of the beam.

Comment

Step 9 of 11

Substitute 1.068 ft-kips for M, 3 in. for c, and for I.

Comment

Step 10 of 11

Calculate the modulus of rupture using ACI recommendations.

Here, is the strength of the concrete.

Substitute 3,000 psi for .

Comment

Step 11 of 11

Thus,

The modulus of rupture calculated using the section properties and the applied load is
.

The modulus of rupture calculated using ACI recommendations is .
