PROBLEM 2 A beam is reinforced with 6-28mm diameter tension bars in 2 layers with 3 bars per layer (center-to-center distance of 2 layer is 40mm) and if compression reinforcement is required, it will be placed at 1 layer only with a reinforcement diameter of 25mm. The properties of the beam are as follows: Beam: bxh = 300mm x 585mm Length = 8m Effective concrete covering = 65mm f'c = 28MPA fy = 415MPA Strain of tension steel = 0.005 Deadload = 36KN/m (including self weight) 1. Nominal moment capacity of the beam 2. Safe Live load that the beam can carry 2. No. of 25mm diameter compression steel reinforcement (if needed)

The different loads such as loads due to self-weight (dead load) and external loads such as live load, wind loads, seismic load, snow load, and other loads and load combinations that influence the design of a building are called structural loading. The n…
