Question (3):
For the given structural plan, its required to:
1- Draw the max. max. B.M.D. for beam (B).
2- Calculate the compressive and tensile stresses on both concrete and steel bars at
sections 1 and 2 using working loads.
3- Check the safety of sec.(1-1) & sec.(2-2). Comment on the results.
(use Fcu=25 N/mm 2 and Fy=400 N/mm2 )
