A reinforced concrete T-beam is to be designed for tension only. The beam width is 250 mm. effective depth to bottom bars is 400 mm, flange thickness is 100 mm, simple span is 3.6 m and beam spacing is 1.2 m on centres. If the applied design moment is 300 kn-m, fc’ = 20.7 MPa and fy = 414 MPa. Determine the effective width of the compression flange and the number of 28 mmφ diameter bars necessary for the beam

Question

A reinforced concrete T-beam is to be designed for tension only. The beam
width is 250 mm. effective depth to bottom bars is 400 mm, flange thickness is 100
mm, simple span is 3.6 m and beam spacing is 1.2 m on centres. If the applied design
moment is 300 kn-m, fc’ = 20.7 MPa and fy = 414 MPa. Determine the effective width
of the compression flange and the number of 28 mmφ diameter bars necessary for
the beam.
