This document discusses architectural structures and reinforced concrete beams. It provides information on:
1. Reasons for using distributed reinforcement (DRB) in beams, including limited section size and increasing moment capacity.
2. Conditions for determining whether a beam should be designed as a singly reinforced beam (SRB) or DRB.
3. An example problem showing the calculation of compression block depth, ultimate moment capacity, and maximum span for a given beam.
4. A design example calculating the compression block depth, required tension and compression steel areas, and maximum steel area allowed by code for a beam carrying dead and live loads.
