A reinforced concrete beam has a width of 300 mm and effective depth of 500mm to the centroid of the tension reinforcements. Consider the steel reinforcements will be placed in a single layer arrangement. Concrete strength fc’ = 34.5 MPa. Determine the steel ratio of the section if the beam is singly reinforced with the maximum amount of steel for transition control allowed by the Code if the bars has a steel strength of fy = 345 MPa. Determine the steel ratio of the section if the beam is singly reinforced with the maximum amount of steel for tension control if the bars has a steel strength fy = 345 MPa. Determine the number of pieces of 28 mm ᴓ bars required for the section if the beam is singly reinforced with the maximum amount of steel for tension control if the bars has a steel strength fy = 415 MPa.

A reinforced concrete beam has a width of 300 mm and effective depth of 500mm to the centroid of the tension reinforcements. Consider the steel reinforcements will be placed in a single layer arrangement. Concrete strength fc’ = 34.5 MPa.

  1. Determine the steel ratio of the section if the beam is singly reinforced with the maximum amount of steel for transition control allowed by the Code if the bars has a steel strength of fy = 345 MPa.
  2. Determine the steel ratio of the section if the beam is singly reinforced with the maximum amount of steel for tension control if the bars has a steel strength fy = 345 MPa.
  3. Determine the number of pieces of 28 mm ᴓ bars required for the section if the beam is singly reinforced with the maximum amount of steel for tension control if the bars has a steel strength fy = 415 MPa.
