Principles of Reinforced Concrete

Instructions. Solve the following problems.


a. There are four problems in this examination. The four problems are divided
into two examinations to maximize the use of the problems. Problems 1 and
2 are considered in Examination No. 1, while Problems 3 and 4 are for
Examination No. 2.
b. Each of the Problem is 100 points.
c. Present your solution in chronological order and as legible as possible .
Disgruntled solution will not be corrected.
d. Use white bond paper in your solution.
e. Submit or turn-in your solution properly. Improper position of your solution
will not be corrected.
f. Please follow the instructions for your own good.

Examination No. 1

Problem No.1:

a. What is the cracking moment of the beam having a cross section shown in Figure 1
(a) if f ‘c = 28 MPa? All beam dimensions are in mm.
b. Determine is the value of W, see Figure 1 (b), which will cause the beam section in
Problem 1(a) to crack. Neglect the weight of the beam.

Problem No. 2:

a. If the beam in Figure 1 (a) have cracked, what is it safe moment capacity using
transformed section method if fc = 9.45 MPa, fs = 138 MPa , n = 9 and effective
cover of 60 mm? All beam dimensions are in mm.
b. Verify the flexural adequacy of the beam in Problem 2 (a) if it is to carry the given
loads shown in Figure 1(b) with W = 11.25kN..
Examination No. 2

Problem No. 3:

a. Determine the design moment capacity, ∅𝑀𝑛 , of the beam having a cross-section
shown in Figure 2 (a) using NSCP 2015 with f ‘c = 35 MPa, fy = 414 MPa, Es =
200000 MPa, 60mm steel covering. All beam dimensions are in mm.

bending moment:
(a.1) Using a minimum cross-section with maximum permissible reinforcement
ratio of 𝝆𝟎.𝟎𝟎𝟓 corresponding to net tensile strain ∈𝒕 = 𝟎. 𝟎𝟎𝟓
