1. Calculate the design moment strength of a rectangular section with the following details: b = 250
mm, d = 440 mm, d′ = 60 mm, tension steel is six bars 25mm in diameter (in two rows),
compression steel is three bars 20mm in diameter, f ′c = 20MPa, and fy = 350MPa.

2. Using the ACI Code requirements, calculate the design moment strength of a rectangular section
that has a width of b = 250mm and an effective depth of d = 550mm, when f ‘c = 20 MPa, fy =
420 MPa, and the steel used is as follows:
a. 4 -20mm
b. 3-25mm
c. 4-30mm
3. The cross section of a 17-ft (5-m)-span simply supported beam is 10 × 28 in. (250 × 700 mm),
and it is reinforced symmetrically with eight no. 6 bars (8 × 20 mm) in two rows. Determine the
allowable concentrated live load at midspan considering the total acting dead load (including
self-weight) is equal to 2.55 K/ft (37 kN/m). Given: f ′c = 3 ksi (20MPa) and fy = 40 ksi (300MPa).

4. Determine the design moment strength of the sections shown in Fig. 3.41. Neglect the lack of
symmetry in (b). Given: f ′c = 4 ksi (30MPa) and fy = 60 ksi (400MPa).
