The document contains 3 engineering problems related to calculating properties of reinforced concrete beams. The first problem asks to find the required steel reinforcement area for a balanced beam. The second calculates the ultimate moment capacity of a beam with given dimensions and reinforcement. The third calculates the ultimate capacity of a tension-only reinforced beam with a given steel area.
