depth of 490mm. fc’ = 30MPa, fy = 415MPa. Determine the
following.
a. The balanced steel area
b.The maximum steel area if the beam is singly reinforced
condition.
c. The maximum design strength if the beam is SRB.
d.The required steel area if the beam is subjected to M of 120kN-m
DL

and M of 170kN-m.

Given the following data for a rectangular beam: width, b = 320mm,
effective depth, d = 520mm, fc’ = 27MPa, fy = 345MPa, MDL = 180
kN-m, MLL = 167kN-m. Determine the required tension steel area.
PROBLEM 3

= 480mm, fc’ = 21MPa, fy = 415 Mpa. The beam is reinforced for
tension only. Determine the design strength under the following
condition.

Calculate the ultimate moment capacity if a rectangular beam with b=
350mm, d = 540mm, As = 7-28mm, Assume fc’ =24MPa, fy = 345 Mpa.

300mm, d = 500mm, As = 9-28mm, Assume fc’ =34MPa, fy = 414
Mpa. Use NSCP 2015.
PROBLEM 4

moment of 85kN-m (including its estimated weight) and a live load of
102kN-m. Use d = 1.75b. Assume fy = 276MPa and fc’ 28MPa. Use 2015.

B = 400mm d = 620 mm fy = 415 MPa fc’ = 22MPa
Tension bars = 10 - 28mm
Compression bar = 3 – 25mm

compression strength fc’ = 27.6 Mpa and steel yield strength fy = 276
Mpa. Compression steel if required shall have its centroid 60mm from
extreme concrete fiber. Calculate the required tension steel area if the
factored moment Mu is 620kN-m
