1. A reinforced concrete beam is 250 mm wide with an effective depth pf
400mm. Use fc=21MPa and fy=275 Mpa. The section is reinforced with As= 1900 mm^2. a. Calculate the balanced steel ration b. Compute for the nominal flexural strength. (kN) c. Calculate the flexural strength of the section. (kN) 2. A rectangular beam has b=300mm, d=500mm, As=6-32mm dia. fc=27 MPa, grade 60 reinforcement (fy=414 MPa). Calculate uniformly distributed deadload if the beam length is 6.5m and the live load is 10 kN/m. (kN/m). 3. A rectangular beam has b=300mm, d=500mm, As=3-25mm dia. fc=34.2 MPa, (fy=415 MPa). Calculate uniformly distributed live load if the beam length is 7.25m and the uniform dead load is 6.25 kN/m and a concentrated deadload 10.5 kN at midspan. (kN/m). 4. Determine the required tension and or compression steel area necessary to resist a deadload moment of 315 kN-m (including its own weight) and a live load moment of 305 kN-m. the beam size is 600mmx375mm. Concrete covering is 50mm, 12mm dia stirrups. Use f’c= 27.5 MPa and fy 414 MPa. 5. Determine the additional service concentrated live load acting at midspan of a 10 m long beam. It carries a uniformly distributed deadload of 29 kN/m and a uniformly distributed live load of 50% of the uniformly distributed deadload. Use fy 345 MPa and fc=30MPa. The beam is 350mm base and 600mm effective depth. The centroid of compression steel is 63 mm for the other most fiber of concrete. Compression steel is 775 mm^2 and tension steel 3625mm^2. (kN)
