1. A rectangular reinforced concrete beam has a width of 310 mm & an effective depth of 490 mm.

Concrete compressive strength is 21 MPa steel yield strength is 345 MPa. The beam is reinforced
for tension only. Using NSCP 2015, determine the ultimate moment capacity. If the beam is
reinforced with
a. 5 – 25 mm
b. 9 – 25 mm

2. A beam having a dimension of 300 x 500 mm is reinforced with 3 – 32 mm at the bottom (single
layer) and 3 – 25 mm at the top (single layer). This design is for the mid span of an unweather
beam, having a concrete compressive strength of 21 MPa, steel yield strength of 420 MPa and
reinforced with 10 mm stirrups. Determine the following:
a. Depth of compressive block
b. Ultimate moment capacity of beam

3. A rectangular beam has b=300 mm and d=490 mm. Concrete compressive strength f’c = 27.6 MPa
and steel yield strength fy = 276 MPa. Calculate the required tension steel area if factored moment,
Mu is 140 kN-m.
