SITUATION 1
A reinforced concrete beam is 350mm wide by 600mm deep. The beam is simply supported over a span
of 8m and carries a uniform DL= 11 KN/m including its own weight and a uniform LL= 15 KN/m. The
beam is reinforced for tension only with 6- 25mm ϕ bars as shown in the figure. fc’= 20.7 MPa, fy= 344.8
MPa, fr= 2.832 MPa, Econc= 21,650 MPa and Es= 200 GPa.
