Question

A rectangular beam 250 mm wide, 500 mm deep is reinforced at the bottom with 4-20-mm-diameter bars and at the top with 2-16-mm bars. The concrete cover to bar centroid is 80 mm and at the bottom is 70 mm. use concrete strength f'= 21 MPa and steel yield strength fy=415 MPa for all bars. 

1. Determine the tensile steel ratio when the beam is in positive bending.

a. 0.01567 b. 0.01283 c. 0.01169 d. 0.01923

2. Determine the nominal moment capacity in kN-m of the beam in positive bending.

a. 188.30 b.167.70 c.218.96 d.193.68

3. Determine the tensile steel ratio when the beam is in negative bending.

a. 0.00406 b. 0.00475 c.0.00383 d. 0.00508
