Activity 2

Singly Reinforced Beam

Notes and Procedure:

1. Complete the table of the values of Mu, Part 1 to Part 3.

2. It is easier and faster if you do it in Excel with automatic calculation of formulas.
3. This activity aims to show how a cross sections achieve its minimum and maximum values of
Mu.
4. Save your work in Excel and Pdf. Put your Name and Schedule at the top of every page and tab.
