. Problem:

A reinforced concrete beam has a width of 300 mm and an effective depth to tension bars of 600 mm.
Compression reinforcement if needed will be placed at a depth of 60 mm below the top. If f’c = 30MPa
and fy = 414 MPa, determine the tension steel area if the beam is to resist an ultimate moment of 650
kN-m.

Solution:

II. Moment-Distribution Method

2. Compute the moments over the supports of the beam shown in
