Question 1: For the beam section shown in Figure 1, determine the values of 𝜖𝑡 , ∅ 𝑎𝑛𝑑 ∅𝑀𝑛
(Marks 15)

Figure 1: Single reinforced beam

Question 2: Design a single reinforced rectangular section for the beam loading shown in Figure
2. The applied dead load doesn’t include the beam self-weight. Assume concrete weights 150lb/ft3,
